Gilesgate Moor Local Business Marketing Intelligence
In County Durham's corner of the North East region, Gilesgate Moor covers postcode district DH1 and borders Lowe's Barn, Carrville and Pity Me. Durham Castle and Cathedral were among the UK's first UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and nearby Bishop Auckland's Auckland Castle served as the residence of the Prince-Bishops of Durham for almost 900 years.
Durham BID (trading as Life in Durham) represents businesses across the city, working to make it a better place to trade and visit; no equivalent BID covers Bishop Auckland. According to the ONS's March 2026 IDBR snapshot, there were 14,825 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
