caption_attribution_description: English: Carlbury Hill, Carlbury, County Durham, from south bank of River Tees. Carlbury Hall can be seen on the hill. In 1642 an English Civil War battle was won by the Royalists because they used this hill as a battery emplacement, which gave them the advantage over the Parliamentarians attempting to cross the river.
context_page_description: Carlbury is a hamlet in the civil parish of High Coniscliffe in County Durham, in England. It is situated a few miles to the west of Darlington, on the north bank of the River Tees between Piercebridge to the west, and High Coniscliffe to the east. High and Low Carlbury once constituted a slightly larger settlement, but most of the hamlet at Low Carlbury became derelict and was demolished by the late 1940s. A few buildings remain.
context_section_description: In 2005–2006, Carlbury still had 3.5 hectares of ancient woodland, classified as a Site of Nature Conservation Importance and a wildlife corridor. Today High Carlbury is Carlbury Farm, and the remainder of Low Carlbury is next to the A67 road where there is Carlbury Hall. For a short time in the early 21st century this was a nursing home on Carlbury Hill. Also on the A67 is the Carlbury Arms which is listed by CAMRA and has a pudding club, and the Carlbury milestone which is Grade II listed but said to be in poor condition. However, in 2005 Darlington Council saw fit to upgrade the bus shelters at the Carlbury Arms and Carlbury Hall stops. Carlbury Garden Centre is north of the Carlbury Arms, on Station Road. Between the milestone and the river there is a field and a little bridge over stone channels where the mill race once was; Carlbury Bridge is now a Grade II listed building. The hamlet is on the Piercebridge Circular Walk route.
