Great Isle Farm Between Mordon and Newton Aycliffe in mid-southern County Durham, there is an extensive area of low-lying and formerly marshy land drained by the River Skerne and its tributaries. Great Isle is so-called because it stands on a low hill above the plain and was at one time an island in the marshes.
