Your holiday information...

Step back in time at the famous Beamish Open Air Museum, where the spirit of the 1800s and early 1900s is lovingly brought to life. Ride on a restored tram or replica bus, explore the cobbled streets of an Edwardian town, and experience daily life in a colliery village. From steam locomotives and working farms to a traditional sweet shop and even a trip down the mine, this award-winning museum captures the true essence of Northeast heritage. Spend a full day in the dynamic city of Newcastle, set on the banks of the River Tyne. Enjoy its striking contrast of historic charm and modern energy. Stroll along the stunning quayside, admire fine examples of Georgian architecture, indulge in some retail therapy, or relax in one of the city’s many cafes, pubs, or restaurants. A city full of surprises, Newcastle effortlessly combines the past and present.
Explore the handsome market town of Barnard Castle, where cobbled streets, antique shops, and echoes of Charles Dickens’ literary legacy await. Visit the dramatic castle ruins, perched high above the River Tees, or delve into the area’s colourful past. We also visit the nearby Bowes Museum, an architectural gem in the style of a French château, housing an exceptional collection of fine art, decorative objects, and the famous Silver Swan automaton, a marvel of 18th-century ingenuity.
