A former mining community on the North East coast, with some problems associated with economic deprivation, Horden has benefited in recent years from local efforts to regenerate this community of some 8,500 residents.

Horden's parks, local clubs and stunning heritage coast are attracting new residents and visitors.

With good links to Sunderland, Durham and Hartlepool, Horden is a good place for commuters looking for affordable living and thriving community spirit.

Horden Social Welfare Centre provides an excellent venue for meetings and events with the adjacent and award winning Welfare Park hosting a full programme of family events and entertainment throughout the year.

The impressive St Mary's Church and 17th Century Horden Hall are just part of Horden's heritage and history.

The future for Horden looks increasingly positive with new investment and partnership working certain to benefit the community.
