About Ruffside
Ruffside, a quiet hamlet in County Durham, breathes the open air of the North Pennines. It lies 11.5 km west of Consett (from Consett: bearing 274°T, OS grid NY 992 517), and is situated north-west of Edmundbyers village.

A small, unnamed stream, barely more than a murmur, winds its way through the fields, catching the light in fleeting, silver flashes. Life in Ruffside moves at a pace dictated by the turning of the seasons and the gentle rhythm of the surrounding countryside.
