Holwick
Holwick is a small village in Teesdale, County Durham, England. Located in the Pennine hills, it consists of a few houses spread along a road in the pattern of a linear settlement. As the population taken at the 2011 Census was less than 100, details are maintained in the parish of Lunedale.
It has a public house, the Strathmore Arms, and a campsite. Holwick sits above the River Tees, beyond Middleton-in-Teesdale, and opposite the village of Newbiggin on the other side of the valley. Nearby are the High Force and Low Force waterfalls. The surrounding landscape is high moorland and fells.
Being south of the Tees, Holwick lies within the historic county boundaries of the North Riding of Yorkshire, but along with the rest of the former Startforth Rural District it was transferred to County Durham for administrative and ceremonial purposes on 1 April 1974, under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972.
Holwick is part of the Bishop Auckland parliamentary constituency, which is represented in parliament by Helen Goodman (Labour). It is in the North East England region, which serves as a constituency for the European Parliament.
