Land north of the A689 in Wynyard, previously been used on a commercial basis by Samsung, was acquired in 2005 by Chris Musgrave, a Hartlepool businessman.

[10] Wynyard is served by two main arterial roads: the A689 running east to west from Hartlepool to Bishop Auckland, and the A19 (north/south) leading to Middlesbrough and Stockton-on-Tees to the south and Tyne and Wear to the north.

After the line was closed and the tracks lifted, the line through Wynyard came under the control of Durham County Council who converted it into the Castle Eden Walkway cycle path, part of the Wynyard Woodland Park.

[14] The course was built in 1996 alongside the building of the Wynyard Estates development and was designed by Martin Hawtree.

In June 2019, a major redevelopment of Wynyard golf club was granted permission.
