Harperley

Harperley

Harperley is a small village in County Durham, in England. It is situated between Tantobie to the north east, Tanfield Lea to the east, Stanley, County Durham to the south, East Kyo to the south east and Catchgate, West Kyo and Annfield Plain to the west.

Harperley is split into two parts. The southern part (consisting of five houses) is set around crossroads from which there is easy access to West Kyo, Catchgate, Annfield Plain and Stanley. The northern part (consisting of two houses, a bungalow and a farm) is grouped around the "'Harperley Hotel", a public house known locally for meals and hosting wedding functions.

The grounds surrounding the Harperley Hotel used to be the site of a zoo (in the 1960s) and a children's playground (as late as the 1970s). A local stream called the Kyo Burn flows through the grounds, which lower down it's course is known as Beamish Burn and later the River Team before it flows into the River Tyne.
