Willington is a former mining village which was hit hard by the closure of the colleries in 1967. It's now starting to thrive but is still a commuting village as there isn't much local industry or work. There are a few local shops so it's a good place for a mid ride snack stop. The NCN70 goes through the village on the route of the old railway line.
