We have had a beacon on the Quarry Field in Woodland on many occasions in the last few years. The beacon is a bright LED light on a mast and is placed at 1500 feet above sea level, in one of the highest villages in County Durham.
On the 8th of May 2025 we will be putting the beacon up again to Commemorate the 80th anniversary of the ending of hostilities at the end of the second world war in Europe. We encourage people to come and see the beacon and join with the rest of the country to sing “I vow to thee my Country” at 21:30 as the beacon is lit.
