'''Sunnybrow''' is a village in [[County Durham]], in [[England]]. In the [[United Kingdom Census 2001|2001 census]] Sunnybrow had a population of 1,296.<ref>{{cite web|title=Wear Valley Settlement Summary Sheets |publisher=Durham County Council |url=http://www.durham.gov.uk/durhamcc/usp.nsf/Lookup/Wear%20Valley%20Settlement%20Summary%20Sheets%20Numbers/$file/Wear+Valley+Settlement+Summary+Sheets+Numbers.pdf |format=PDF |accessdate=14 October 2016 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071007090304/http://www.durham.gov.uk/durhamcc/usp.nsf/Lookup/Wear%20Valley%20Settlement%20Summary%20Sheets%20Numbers/$file/Wear+Valley+Settlement+Summary+Sheets+Numbers.pdf |archivedate=October 7, 2007 }}
It has a primary school and a car show room as well as a cemetery which was created in 1889 along with a now demolished church as part of the Sunnybrow St. John Parish. In 2008, its only post office was closed. Sunnybrow is also home to the Spectrum Leisure Complex (opened in 1985 by Lord Roxborough who was eight at the time) which featured the only dry ski slope in the area. However due to a decline in the demand for alpine skiing in the South West Durham area, this part of the facility was closed in 2004.

Today, however, Sunnybrow thrives and is fast becoming more at one with its neighbours over in Willington. There are regular transport links between and through the two conurbations, with the ever-popular tourist attraction that is the bus turning circle on Clifton Green, proving integral in providing a swift and efficient service by the local public transport companies.
