Eastgate is a small village in Weardale, popular for walking and cycling. The village once marked the eastern boundary of Stanhope Park, the scene of many grand and historical hunting expeditions. The village is also famed for being the birthplace of Emerson Bainbridge, founder of the world’s first department store. Eastgate is set in rural countryside and is home to a pub and the delightful Horsley Hall which provides fine dining and afternoon tea.
