Westgate and Eastgate

The area between the lovely stone built villages of Westgate and Eastgate was once the Bishop of Durham’s deer park, kept to provide him with an abundant supply of venison. The villages are so called because they were the east and west ‘gates’ to the park. The foundations of the Bishop’s castle can still be seen at Westgate along with an old mill and water wheel. In 1327 the troops of Edward III camped at Eastgate en route to Scotland to face the Scottish army.
