The Neighborhood:

Blackhill was once a standalone village and is now a quiet residential district of Consett, offering a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes with a strong community feel.



Just a short walk or drive away is the lovely Blackhill & Consett Park, a historic green space gifted by the Consett Iron Company in the late 19th century.

It offers landscaped lawns, woodlands, walking paths, and a peaceful retreat from the bustle of town.



Local amenities are easily accessible — you’ll find nearby primary and secondary schools, local shops, and services in Consett town centre, which is within easy reach.



The area strikes a good balance between suburban calm and good access to regional transport links. It’s well suited for guests looking for a relaxed home base with scenic countryside nearby, while still being close enough to Consett’s shops, restaurants, and convenient road links to Durham, Newcastle and beyond.



Getting Around:

By Car



From Durham or the south: take the A1 north to Scotch Corner, then A68 north toward Consett.

Once you're close to Consett, head into the town, then follow local roads to Blackhill and onto Ashby Crescent.

Ashby Crescent is a residential street, typically accessible via the main town roads and local signage.



By Bus (Public Bus)

Go North East operates frequent services between Durham and Consett, particularly on the X15 / X5 “X-lines” express routes.

Buses depart from Durham city centre (Millburngate Stand B) and arrive at Consett Bus Station (Stand G). Journey time is around 35–40 minutes.

From Consett Bus Station, switch to a local bus heading toward Blackhill or walk/taxi the final stretch to Ashby Crescent.

Some local bus routes serving Consett Academy and nearby villages pass close to Blackhill and may give a drop-off or pickup nearby.



By Train

The nearest major train stations are in Durham or Newcastle, depending on your direction of travel.

After arriving by train, transfer to a bus (e.g., X15/X-lines) or take a taxi to Consett and then either walk or take a local taxi to 12 Ashby Crescent.
