DURHAM
(HALF DAY): Beamish is a living, working museum, set in 300 acres of beautiful Durham countryside. Costumed folk bring to life the Town, Pit Village, Home Farm and Pockerley Old Hall. Experience firsthand how the Industrial Revolution transformed agricultural life in the region. The buildings you see at Beamish are not replicas, but have been brought, brick by brick, from around the region and rebuilt to give visitors a real sense of history.
BEAMISH MUSEUM
(HALF DAY OPTIONAL EXCURSION): Beamish Living Museum of the North. The town is brought back to a previous life dramatically by costumed actors, and you can enjoy every day working demonstrations of life in a bye gone era. Buy freshly baked bread, visit the traditional 1900's pub, the Sun Inn or café, and buy souvenirs of your visit. A great day out is guaranteed for all.
BARNARD CASTLE
& BISHOPS AUCKLAND (FULL DAY): We will visit the picturesque market town of Barnard Castle, which sits high above the River Tees and Bishops Auckland.
