Sleightholme Script error: No such module "IPAc-en".[1] is a secluded hamlet on a dead end road in County Durham, England. It lies beside Sleightholme Beck, a tributary of the River Greta. The nearest town is Bowes, 4 miles away.
The name, first recorded in 1254, is believed to come from the Old Norse sletta holmr, meaning "flat ground near water".[1] The place was historically in the North Riding of Yorkshire,[2] and was transferred to County Durham in 1974.
The Pennine Way passes through Sleightholme. Below the hamlet Sleightholme Beck passes through a narrow valley, known as The Troughs, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
