Town and city breaks in County Durham
Durham City’s Norman cathedral and castle are a striking duo, perched majestically on a hilltop and looped by the River Wear. Rowing teams train on the water and students populate the city centre’s winding cobbled streets. Cricket fans gather in Chester-le-street to see the county team play.
Holidays in the County Durham countryside
Venture from your County Durham hotel to explore the North Pennines’ dramatic landscape. Hike through woods in Upper Teesdale to the High Force waterfall, where the roaring River Tees tumbles from a 70ft drop. The Weardale steam railway trundles past rolling hills and valleys, stopping at villages and market towns like Stanhope, Frosterley and Wolsingham.
Beach holidays in County Durham
Drink in fresh North Sea air on a clifftop walk along Durham’s Coastal Path, stretching 11 miles between Seaham and Crimdon. On Seaham’s sandy beaches kids can get stuck into some bucket-and-spade fun or try a spot of rock pooling.
Attractions in County Durham
Journey back to 18th- and 19th-century North of England at Beamish open-air museum.

Medieval Raby Castle, near Staindrop in Darlington, is surrounded by acres of deer-dotted parkland.
