Bishop Auckland is a market town in County Durham in North East England. It is located approximately 12 miles northwest of Darlington and 12 miles southwest of Durham City at the confluence of the River Wear with its tributary the River Gaunless. The River Gaunless was given its name by Norsemen in whose tongue it means useless. According to the 2001 census, Bishop Auckland has a population of 24,392.
The Bishop's palace, often also known as Auckland Castle, is the official residence of the Bishop of Durham. It is surrounded by a large and beautiful park that was originally used by the Bishops for hunting. Part of the building was called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. Lewis Carroll sets his story 'A Legend of Scotland' here.
