RABY CASTLE
One of the largest and most impressive of English medieval castles, Raby Castle, in County Durham, Northumbria, provides a wonderful day out for all the family.

BEAMISH
The North of England Open Air Museum, where the past comes to life. Beamish is unique. We're no ordinary museum but a living, working experience of life as it was in the Great North in the early 1800s and 1900s.

AUCKLAND CASTLE
This historic castle has been the home of the Bishops of Durham for over 800 years, and today is the Bishop's official residence.

CROOK HALL GARDENS
Crook Hall is a beautiful Grade I listed Medieval Manor House with a banquetting hall & 17th century Jacobean room. The hall is at least 13th century, maybe older, and the timbers supporting it were in place 100 years before Drake sailed against the Armada in 1588.

DURHAM HERITAGE CENTRE
The Heritage Centre is Durham City's only local history museum telling the story of Durham from Mediaeval times to the Twentieth Century.

DURHAM CATHEDRAL
The present Cathedral has stood on this spot as a place of prayer and pilgrimage for over 900 years. It contains the remains of Cuthbert, the saintly seventh-century bishop of Lindisfarne; it also holds the tomb of Bede, the chronicler of Cuthbert's life and the first English historian. It is one of the most beautiful buildings in England (Bill Bryson called it 'the best Cathedral on planet earth'), and part of a World Heritage Site.
