About Crook
Referred to as the 'Gateway to Weardale', Crook sits astride the main route from Durham and the East coast and the picturesque upper reaches of the River Wear. The town is steeped in history and offers the visitor the opportunity to shop in a relaxed atmosphere with an excellent variety of shops concentrated in a compact area.
Crook also offers opportunities for relaxation. As well as the leisure facilities at Glenholme, the town can boast an excellent golf course. Situated above the town, it is an exhilarating and demanding course but reputed to offer the best-kept greens in County Durham. With dramatic views over the surrounding countryside, the course is a must for any golfing enthusiast.
The town has ample places to eat, drink and be merry whatever your taste in pubs or cafes may be. Again all within easy reach of the main car parks or bus stops you will soon find somewhere to suit your palette or your purse.
