Dales View, Consett has been chosen by Shepherd Homes for its location – equidistant to Durham and Newcastle with pleasant countryside surroundings and the North East coast only a short drive away. Consett is famous for Terris Novalis sculpture by Tony Cragg, the 20 feet high stainless steel surveying instruments symbolise the economic regeneration of the area and dominate the landscape above the old Consett steelworks site.
