Hamsterley

Hamsterley is a linear village that sits on a ridge of higher ground that runs between Bedburn Beck (to the north) and Linburn Beck (to the south). Both streams run into the River Wear just to the east of Hamsterley. The village is best known for the Hamsterley Forest, a large Forestry Commission park just to the west, with a visitor centre and lovely forest drive.
