Baldersdale, where the cottage is located, is a small cluster of hamlets and farm dwellings overlooking the reservoirs of Hury, Blackton, and Balderhead. It is home to Hannah Hauxwell, who gained fame in the 1970s for running her farm without running water. The area is now managed by Durham Wildlife Trust, and 'Hannah's Meadow' serves as an attractive nature reserve. Nearby Romaldkirk is one of the most unspoilt villages in Teesdale, with picturesque greens, old stone cottages, a beautiful church, and award-winning pubs. The surrounding Dales countryside offers excellent walking and cycling routes, while the cities of Durham and Newcastle are a short drive away for more urban activities.
