Dist:0.1km<br/> Between Mordon and Newton Aycliffe in mid-southern County Durham, there is an extensive area of low-lying land, occupied at least in Roman times by lakes, now drained by the River Skerne and its tributaries. It is probable that the Romans used the lakes and interconnecting canals for water transport. http://www.davison03.freeserve.co.uk/the ancient lakes of county durham.htm The farm on the skyline is Mordon North Farm.

Dist:0.5km<br/>It seems likely that the house with the letterbox inset into the wall was once the village post office. Set on an attractive village green.
