Wear Valley

District of County Durham, northeast England; area 505 sq km/195 sq mi; population (2001) 61,350. The area comprises the upper Wear valley and part of southwest Durham. In the east of the district coal mining has been replaced by manufacturing as the chief industry. Lead mining has ceased in the upper Wear valley but limestone is still quarried. Farming extends to a height of 425 m/1,400 ft above sea level, and the dale provides recreational facilities for Durham.
