About Crook and the 01388 Area Code
Crook is a market town in County Durham, set on a hillside above the Wear Valley approximately ten miles south-west of Durham city. The town grew rapidly during the nineteenth century as coal mining expanded across the region, and its broad main street and Victorian architecture reflect that period of prosperity. Crook was once served by the Wear Valley Railway, and the trackbed now forms part of a network of walking and cycling routes through the dale.
The surrounding area takes in the smaller communities of Willington, Howden-le-Wear, and Fir Tree, with the open moorland of the north Pennines rising to the west. Crook Golf Club and the nearby Hamsterley Forest offer outdoor recreation, while the town itself retains a useful range of shops, services, and a weekly market.
Crook benefits from good road connections via the A689 and A690, linking it to Bishop Auckland, Durham, and the A1(M). As the principal town of the upper Wear Valley, it serves a wide rural catchment. Businesses in trades, agricultural supplies, property services, and community-focused retail will find Crook an effective base for reaching customers across this part of County Durham.
