Development: Ushaw Moor

Ushaw Moor

A short drive from  the centre of Durham  and within 45 minutes’  of Newcastle upon  Tyne, Sunderland and Middlesbrough, Ushaw Moor combines the ambience of a village community with easy access to the cities and towns of the North East. Half-hourly bus services  to Durham, a 15 minute  trip, stop just outside the development. Durham has excellent rail connections, with direct services to Edinburgh, Newcastle, Birmingham, Plymouth, Manchester and many other destinations. London Kings Cross is less than three hours away.

Local shops, around  five minutes’ walk from Deerness Rise, include convenience stores, a pharmacy and a Co-op, food takeaways and services such as hairdressers. The village also has a popular pub, the Flass Inn, that hosts live music and quiz nights. There is a convenience store and  Post Office around 20 minutes’ walk away in New Brancepeth, and a wider variety can be found  in Langley Moor, which complements independent traders with Tesco and  Lidl supermarkets. Nearby Durham widens the choice with high street brands  and supermarkets, outdoor markets and indoor shopping centres.
