Blackhall Rocks is a coastal village located in the county of Durham, in the northeast of England. Situated on the North Sea coast, it lies between the towns of Hartlepool and Sunderland. The village is part of the wider Blackhall Colliery area and is known for its picturesque surroundings and stunning coastal cliffs.

The main attraction of Blackhall Rocks is its scenic beach, which stretches along the coast for approximately two miles. The beach is characterized by its golden sands and rugged cliffs, providing visitors with a beautiful natural setting for walks and relaxation. It is also a popular spot for fishing enthusiasts, who can cast their lines from the beach or nearby rock formations.

Aside from its natural beauty, Blackhall Rocks is also home to the Blackhall Rocks Sports Club, which offers a range of sporting facilities including football, cricket, and bowls. The club serves as a hub for the local community and hosts various events throughout the year.

The village itself has a small but friendly population, with a few local shops, pubs, and amenities to cater to residents and visitors. Blackhall Rocks is well-connected by road, with easy access to nearby towns and cities via the A19 and A1086 roads.

Overall, Blackhall Rocks provides a peaceful coastal retreat for those looking to enjoy the tranquility of the North Sea, stunning cliff views, and a range of outdoor activities in a charming village setting.

Mine Wheel Memorial, Blackhall Colliery One of several similar monuments in this area commemorating the former mining industry. A sea mist has blown in making colour photography rather unrewarding, but this looks ok in B&W.
