Brierton is a small, largely rural civil parish on the western edge of Hartlepool in County Durham, north-east England. It is characterised by rolling farmland, hedgerow-lined lanes and a scattering of farms and cottages rather than a dense village centre, giving it a quiet, semi-rural feel while still lying within easy reach of the borough's amenities and the coast.
The area has long agricultural roots and today combines farming with a number of residents who commute into Hartlepool or nearby towns for work, so the local economy mixes traditional land use with modern commuting patterns. Socially it tends to be close-knit and low-key, with the surrounding landscape and proximity to the North Sea coast reflecting the wider industrial and maritime heritage of the Hartlepool area.
