Finding Durham dogging contacts

Lots of people join swingers sites to meet dogging contacts rather than just driving around hoping to bump into local people. In the members' area you can search local dogging profiles, with or without photos, use the dogging message boards, forums and chatrooms, and upload your own ad.

As most dogging is done after dark, it's a good idea to visit a location first so you can find the best hidden spot, or maybe you'll want to join in ;0) If you take a camera or video, please ask before you start, as some people could get upset.

Many of these dogging locations are also used for cruising by gay guys, TVs and transvestites, so please respect them too.

Durham dogging: local locations

  • Bishop Auckland: Over the viaduct towards Crook there's a small car park on the right, along with a picnic area and an old railway walkway. Swinging and dogging action after dark.
  • Crook: The picnic area on the A68 near Crook, with 24-hour toilets. Lots of wooded areas, popular with both the gay community and doggers.
  • Darlington: On the A66 eastbound from Darlington towards Stockton: a long lay-by, set back from the road, about halfway between Darlington and Stockton. Late nights around 11.30, with various activity including male and female couples.
    The lay-by at Swan House is about a mile and a half along the Darlington to Corbridge road and is surrounded by trees. There's a secluded path leading away from it, where the dogging action takes place. The site is also used by the local gay community.
  • Newton Aycliffe: South of Newton Aycliffe on the A68 towards Corbridge: a lay-by just past the caravan dealers on the left. It's surrounded by trees, with lots of dogging activity with couples and singles, especially at weekends.
  • Rushyford: Off the A1, take the A689 exit to Rushyford, south of Durham. Before the roundabout there's a long lay-by behind trees. A gay area, but known for dogging couples as well.
    Update: we've been told this lay-by is now closed. Can anyone confirm, so we can remove it?
  • Seaham: Seaham car park on the seafront, next to the Seaham Hall gates, and on the coast road towards Ryhope, next to the railway.
  • Sedgefield: Come off the A19 and follow the signs towards Sedgefield Racecourse. Take a right at the roundabout and you'll end up at Hardwick Hall. Best between 7pm and 2am for couples.
  • Sunderland: The A184 heading west from the Testos roundabout: take the first turning on the left, down a country lane. Used mainly by gay guys, but some doggers. Flash your brake lights for action.
  • Tow Law: The picnic site right next to the B6296 is used by couples. Salter's Gate is two miles north of Tow Law, off the A68: heading north out of Tow Law on the A68, pass the salt dump and the picnic area on the right, carry on for 0.6 of a mile to the crossroads, turn left and follow the road to the wooded area at the old POW camp. Exceptional on a fine day, but not when it's raining. Ideal for indoor or outdoor dogging.

Dogging etiquette in Durham

Durham's spots are mostly lay-bys, picnic sites and seafront car parks, many shared with cruising, so a little etiquette goes a long way. Watch from a distance unless you're invited closer, and take a no, or a car driving off, as a no. Flashing headlights or an interior light usually means a couple are happy to be watched, but never assume. Keep well away from houses, walkers, families and anyone who hasn't chosen to be there, and leave each spot as you found it. For more tips, read our dogging advice page.
