Consett is a former steel town on high ground above the Derwent Valley that has reinvented itself since the steelworks closed in 1980. The town now serves as a service centre for west Durham with a growing population, and the Genesis Project has developed the former steelworks site into a business park. The area is known for some of the highest, coldest, and windiest conditions in England.
“Former steel town. C2C cycle route terminus. Strong community identity.”
