Welcome to Portrack

Portrack is a small village located in the county of Durham, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Tees and is known for its industrial heritage. The village was once a thriving hub for shipbuilding and coal mining, but today it is home to a number of retail parks and shopping centers. Portrack is a popular destination for shoppers, with a range of stores and outlets offering everything from fashion and homeware to electronics and sports equipment.

Despite its industrial past, Portrack is also home to a number of green spaces and parks. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with the River Tees providing a picturesque backdrop. There are several parks and nature reserves in the area, including the Tees Barrage International White Water Centre and the Portrack Marsh Nature Reserve. These areas are popular with walkers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts, and offer a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the village.

Portrack is also home to a number of historic landmarks and attractions. The village is home to the Portrack House, a Grade II listed building that dates back to the 18th century. The house is now used as a conference center and is a popular venue for weddings and events. Other notable landmarks in the area include the Tees Newport Bridge, which was built in 1934 and is a symbol of the area's industrial heritage, and the Tees Barrage, which was built in 1995 and provides a range of water sports and activities.
