Once part of the ancient Northern Kingdom of
Northumbria, the border area between England and
Scotland, for centuries, County Durham was ruled by its
vice-regal Prince Bishops who made a major contribution
to the area's rich and unique history.
|
|
The County's fascinating blend of Christian, social and
industrial heritage, combined with some of England's
most beautiful and unspoilt landscape, will surprise and
delight the most discerning visitor. Come and see for
yourself - you'll find there's plenty to see and do
including:
|
|
• The historic City of Durham.
• The lovely unspoilt scenery of the Durham Dales.
• Beamish, The North of England Open Air Museum.
• The Josephine and John Bowes Museum.
• Impressive Castles.
• Industrial heritage.
|
|
The County's proximity to Hadrian's Wall, Lindisfarne,
and the Northumberland Coast, Scottish Border Country,
the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District makes it an
excellent touring base. A wide choice of "value for
money" accommodation and, most importantly, a warm
friendly welcome, makes this an ideal holiday
destination.
