The area around Seaham.
Seaham is a former colliery town on the Durham coast whose regenerated seafront, harbour marina and sea glass beaches now draw day visitors. Lord Byron was married at Seaham Hall, now a spa hotel. Colliery terraces and estates dominate the housing, with newer developments inland. Cafés and seaside businesses gain from appearing in visitor searches, while home-services firms do better naming Dawdon, Deneside and Murton alongside Seaham, since Sunderland competitors are close by.
Closest to Seaham within County Durham: Peterlee (5 miles), Chester-le-Street (10 miles) and Durham (11 miles). Just over the council boundary, Sunderland (5 miles) and Washington (9 miles) are close by. Further out, Hartlepool (11 miles), South Shields (12 miles) and Jarrow (12 miles) are within commuting distance. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.
