Places to stay in Willington, County Durham

Willington is a former-pit town in County Durham. It is in the foothills of the Pennines and near the River Wear close to Crook and Bishop Auckland. Like many communities in the area, Willington's economy was largely based on coal mining. The closure of the colliery in 1967 therefore hit the town hard. Similarly to many former mining communities this is a blow that Willington has struggled to recover from. Places to eat in the region include Oriental Diner, Restaurant At The Mill Race Hotel, El Greco, and The Lodge.

The center of Willington ( which is at is longitude -1°41'16.242 and latitude 54°42'33.199 ) is located 4 miles away from Spennymoor, 4 miles away from Bishop Auckland, 6 miles away from Tow Law and 7 miles away from Durham.
