Cobblers Hall
Now a mature community set in beautiful Durham countryside, Newton Aycliffe was the first new town in the north of England.
In the sought-after residential area on its northern edge, close to open farmland yet within easy reach of city centre amenities, Cobblers Hall is a spacious, family-friendly development of new homes that combines its peaceful setting with convenient access to the A1, Durham and Darlington.

Local history
The area’s heritage as the birthplace of rail travel is reflected in ‘Locomotion’, the award-winning National Railway Museum at nearby Shildon, a free visitor attraction where you can explore a vast collection of locomotives, rolling stock and memorabilia.

Shopping
There is a good shopping area based around Beveridge Way in Newton Aycliffe that includes Tesco and Somerfield supermarkets, a retail park, convenience stores, newsagents, banks and building societies.
The short trip into Darlington brings a choice of high-street names into reach.
The town also has a wide range of pubs and an international choice of restaurants and take-away food outlets.

Outdoor activities
For anyone who enjoys outdoor pursuits, Cobblers Hall is an ideal place to live.
Just a few minutes away, the delightful Aycliffe Nature Walk offers an opportunity to stroll through peaceful surroundings to the town’s Nature Park, where the pond, wetlands and dense woods provide a habitat for a huge diversity of wild flowers, birds and animals.
For more adventurous walking, and exploring picturesque villages and country houses, both the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales National Parks are easily accessible.
