Things to do in County Durham
You’ll never run out of things to do in County Durham. From historic castles, museums and galleries. National parks, including the stunning North Pennines AONB to parks for the kids. Plus, of course, there’s the pull of the Durham Heritage coastline – one of the finest coastlines anywhere in the UK with scenic walks, thriving sea life, rugged cliffs and golden sandy beaches.
But let’s start inland, with the historic city of Durham. A mix of old and new makes this city unique. Contemporary boutiques and high street names rub shoulders with the awe-inspiring Durham Castle and Cathedral UNESCO World Heritage site.
Its rich industrial history features everywhere in the county, and nowhere brings this to life better than the Beamish Open Air Museum. Known as the 'Living Museum of the North', it recreates what life was like back in the early 19th century to the mid-20th century. Here you can take a step back in time and wander around 1900s villages, hop on a steam train, and even taste traditional coal-fired cooking.
If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle, County Durham is the place for you. And the Durham Dales is a great place to start. This landscape of rolling hills and meandering rivers is dotted with historic market towns. It’s a hotspot for outdoor activities too with rock climbing, gorge walking, kayaking and more all going on here.
The County has more than its fair share of beauty spots. Such as High Force, near Upper Teesdale is an impressive waterfall with a dramatic 21 metre drop. There’s also Raby Castle – the number one Hidden Gem in County Durham according to Tripadvisor.
