Durham - Durham is a city steeped in historic charm. The River Wear loops around the 11th century Norman Castle and Romanesque Cathedral – the final resting place of Saint Cuthbert and Saint Bede the Venerable. Visit the University and explore the Botanic Gardens filled with tropical plants and woodland, or maybe the Oriental Museum exhibiting Middle Eastern, Asian and Egyptian artefacts. Get lost in the maze at medieval Crook Hall or wander along the pretty high street offering a lovely mix of High Street names and local shops for your pleasure.
Holy Island - Holy Island is a must-visit on any break to Northumberland which enjoys a unique sense of isolation when cut off by the tide. Steeped in religious history and culture, the island is the birthplace of the Lindisfarne Gospels but you don't need a religious reason to visit this area, with dramatic scenery provided by Lindisfarne Castle and surrounding wildlife creating wonderful photographic opportunities.
Step back in time on our included excursion to the Beamish, open air museum one of Durham's hottest tourist attractions. Beamish is a living and working open-air museum which transports you back to the 1820s, 1910s and 1940s to celebrate the region's rich heritage, brought to life by people dressed in authentic costumes.
