Burnhope Burn is a small river that flows through the county of Durham in the northeast of England. The river is approximately 10 miles long and runs through the villages of Burnhope, Lintzford, and Rowlands Gill before joining the River Derwent. The Burnhope Burn is a popular spot for fishing, with brown trout and grayling being the most common species found in the river.

The Burnhope Burn is also home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and herons. The river is surrounded by woodland and open fields, providing a diverse habitat for many different species. The Burnhope Burn is also a popular spot for walkers and hikers, with several footpaths and trails running alongside the river.

Despite its natural beauty, the Burnhope Burn has faced some environmental challenges in recent years.

Efforts are being made to address these issues and protect the river's ecosystem for future generations to enjoy.
