Location and River Map

The river is located in the Derwent Valley which, in part, forms the border between the counties of Northumberland and Durham.

The source of the river is in the hills above the Derwent Reservoir and from here it flows through the Derwent valley to join the river Tyne near the famous 'Metro Centre', a few miles upstream from the now world renowned quayside area of Newcastle.

The main town nearest to the river is Consett, with a once world-wide reputation for it's steel making and more recently for it's Phileas Fogg snacks.

The town of Consett is almost equi-distant from the historical and beautiful city of Durham.
