Ireshopeburn is the site of the Weardale Museum.
Three adjacent but historically distinct settlements of Ireshopeburn, Newhouse and the hamlet of West Blackdene were previously covered by two separate conservation area designations but given their shared landscape context and historical links they are being brought together in a unified conservation area in 2011.
