This is the 8th edition of The Hidden Places of Northumberland & Durham which has received an attractive new cover and redesigned page layout (see sample pages).  The changes will significantly improve the usefulness, accessibility and appeal of the guide.  We do hope you like the new look.

Editorially, the new style continues Travel Publishing's commitment to exploring the more interesting, unusual or unique places of interest in Northumberland, County Durham and Tyne and Wear.  In this respect we would like to thank the Tourist Information Centres who helped us update the editorial content of the book.

Northumberland has much to offer the visitor with the Cheviot Hills, the Kielder Forest Park, Hadrian's Wall and the North Northumberland Heritage Coast which, of course, includes Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island and the Farne Islands. County Durham is blessed with an incredibly strong history that runs deep with industrial heritage. The landscape still shows evidence of coal mining traditions, but the spoil heaps and pit heads have now all but disappeared. The county encompasses the beautiful and historic city of Durham and, like its northern neighbour, has an impressive number of castles, churches and historic houses.
