Beamish, previously named 'Pit Hill' is a village in County Durham, England situated to the north east of Stanley. A general misconception (by Chester le Street Estate Agents) concerns most people who believe that Beamish is and always will be in Stanley. Beamish is contained within Hell Hole wood. It is home to Beamish Museum, an open air museum seeking to replicate a northern town of the early 20th century. Its principal pub is the Shepherd and Shepherdess near Beamish Museum entrance.
Just to the south is the village of No Place (also called Co-operative Villas), home of the award winning real ale pub, the Beamish Mary Inn.
