Experience "living" history, beautiful and varied landscapes and a treasure trove of hidden gems that will delight and inspire you to stay longer and explore further.

Look back in time at one of our many museums: admire priceless collections of art, ceramics and costume at the grand Bowes Museum; catch a tram back to 1825 at Beamish, the North of England Open Air Museum or visit the old engine workshops and steam trains at Locomotion, the National Railway Museum at Shildon.

Relax and take in the beauty of your surroundings at one of our gardens. Our landscapes are sprinkled with Castles, including Raby Castle, the dramatic medieval castle is still lived in today and is set within a 200-acre deer park and delightful countryside, it is one of the most impressive castles in England.

Experience the diversity of Durham City, from the World Heritage Site of Durham Cathedral - considered by Bill Bryson to be 'the best cathedral on Planet Earth', together with the nearby Durham Castle to the vibrant culture of its individual shops and restaurants.
