Bulmerside Hill is a prominent feature located in County Durham, England. Situated in the northern region of the county, it is part of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Standing at an elevation of approximately 460 meters (1,509 feet), Bulmerside Hill is considered more of a hill than a mountain, but its impressive height provides breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

The terrain of Bulmerside Hill is mainly composed of grassy slopes, with some scattered areas of heather and bracken. Its slopes are relatively gentle, making it accessible to hikers and walkers of various abilities. The hill is known for its rich biodiversity, with various species of flora and fauna thriving in the area. Visitors to Bulmerside Hill can often spot birds such as curlews, golden plovers, and merlins, as well as the occasional hare or deer.

One of the highlights of Bulmerside Hill is the panoramic vista it offers. From its summit, on a clear day, one can behold stunning views of the surrounding countryside, including the Teesdale Valley to the west and the Durham Dales to the east. The hill also provides an excellent vantage point to observe the nearby High Force waterfall, one of England's most impressive waterfalls.

Bulmerside Hill is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Its stunning natural beauty, combined with its accessibility and diverse wildlife, make it an ideal location for a day of hiking, picnicking, or simply enjoying the peaceful ambiance of the North Pennines.

Bishopton Castle Castle Hill is the remains of a medieval motte and bailey castle. The central mound is surrounded by a ditch and earth bank. The castle was built in the early 12thC by Roger de Conyers after he was granted an estate by Bishop Ranulf Flambard. The castle was remodelled in 1143, and successfully held against an attack by the would-be bishop, William Comyn. The Conyers later transferred to Sockburn (NZ350070).
