Cotherstone is a village and civil parish in the district and county of Durham, England. Its historic county is Yorkshire, being just south of the River Tees. Cotherstone cheese is a celebrated delicacy of the village, famed since at least 1858. It was formerly governed under the historic county's North Riding and was transferred to County Durham's governance in 1974 as it was near Barnard Castle, the former Teesdale district's administrative centre until 2009. The village is between Barnard Castle and Middleton, there was a railway station for the village on the now-closed Middleton-in-Teesdale Branch Line which ran between the two towns. The railway line crossed the River Balder at the Balder Viaduct just north of Cotherstone.
