    The grandiose city of Durham is packed with fascinating history and architecture. The centre is overlooked by a majestic cathedral and ancient castle: set on a rocky promontory above the city, these icons form one of the first World Heritage Sites and present an imposing profile. The stunning 11th century cathedral displays Romanesque traits, whilst the castle is a Norman fortification currently utilised by the prestigious Durham University.

  • Beamish Open Air Museum

    The open air museum at Beamish tells the tales of industrial life in Britain’s north east during the 19th and 20th centuries. Interesting, interactive and instructive, this living museum has different sections covering the 1820s, 1900s and 1940s which demonstrate how people lived and worked in the region.

  • Hadrian's Wall
    Hadrians wall Northumberland England

    For around three centuries, Hadrian’s Wall was a vibrant, multi-cultural frontier sprawling almost 80 miles from east to west coast. Built by a force of 15,000 men in under six years, it is as astounding today for its sheer vision as it is for its engineering. Remains of the fortifications at various sites lie in the rugged landscapes that stretch across northern England.

  • Chesters Roman Fort

    This cavalry fort at Hexham served as one of the Roman Empire’s northernmost outposts. Today, it’s the most complete fort of its kind left in Britain, and boasts unusually well-preserved features such as the officers’ quarters, steam room and bath houses. An incredible collection of Roman artefacts, all found along the Wall, are kept at the museum here.

  • Hexham Abbey

    The beautiful Hexham Abbey is a peaceful and atmospheric Grade-I listed building. Constructed in the 7th century, it was one of the earliest seats of Christianity in England, and has witnessed immense turmoil in the region since this time. An architectural gem, the Abbey also holds a wealth of fascinating ancient artefacts, and is bathed in a colourful glow thanks to its stained glass windows.
