Template:Otheruses2 Belmont is a formerly separate village in County Durham, England that is now incorporated into, and a suburb of, Durham City. It was initially a coal mining village and is situated to the north-east of the city centre, just east of the A1(M) motorway. The village forms the nucleus of the Belmont parish.
The Church was bombed in the Second World War because the German pilots mistook it for Durham Cathedral (in the fog.)[citation needed].
Facilities
The village is on the bus route from Sunderland to Durham.
There are three pubs, two school sites and a church, St. Mary Magdelene.
Since 1994 Belmont has been the site of New Ferens Park, home of Unibond League (and former Football League) club Durham City AFC.
