Book NowVisit the historic City of Durham and enjoy one of the most exciting visual and architectural experiences in England, for over nine centuries the magnificent Norman castle and cathedral have dominated the City of Durham’s skyline, perched high above the River Wear. We also feature a visit to the famous Beamish North of England Museum.
Day 1
Depart from your home in the morning and travel to the northeast and the Holiday Inn Darlington North for a 3 nights stay - dinner, bed and breakfast.
DDay 2
We travel the short distance to the City of Durham and a day of Christmas excitement. The great loop of the River Wear's wooded gorge provides a natural backdrop to its massive cathedral and castle. Downhill from the Castle you can trace Durham's mediaeval layout as you thread through the narrow winding streets and snickets. There is a wide range of shops and the traditional Victorian indoor market will be augmented by traditional stalls, street theatre, jugglers and Victorian clad peddlers selling their wares. Away from the bustle you can stroll along wooded riverbanks offering a peaceful retreat below the peeling Cathedral bells.

Experience Christmas from days gone by, Stroll around Town Street, Pit Village, Home Farm and Pockerley Old Hall. Lots of opportunity to obtain a drink and a bite to eat before returning to our hotel.
