Welcome to Garmondsway

Garmondsway is a small village located in County Durham, England. It is situated approximately 8 miles south of Durham city and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is home to a small number of residents and has a rich history dating back to the 12th century. The name Garmondsway is believed to have originated from the Old English words "gar" meaning spear and "mund" meaning protection, suggesting that the village was once a place of safety for warriors.

One of the most notable features of Garmondsway is its church, St. Mary's. The church dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade II listed building. It is a beautiful example of Norman architecture and features a number of interesting historical artifacts, including a 14th-century font and a 15th-century rood screen. The church is still in use today and is a popular destination for visitors to the village.

Garmondsway is also home to a number of walking and cycling routes, which take visitors through the stunning countryside surrounding the village. The area is known for its rolling hills, picturesque villages, and beautiful views, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The village is also located close to a number of other attractions, including the historic city of Durham, which is home to Durham Cathedral and Durham Castle.
