Edmundbyers is a village in County Durham, in England. It is situated a few miles to the west of Consett, near Derwent Reservoir.

[edit] Etymology

Edmundbyers means "Eādmund's dwellings", from the Old English personal name Eādmund (modern Edmund) and bur 'dwelling', modern bower, here in the dialectal form byer. An undated record of the name lists the town as Edminber.
