The Hidden
Places of Northumberland & Durham
is a beautifully illustrated guide and explores
Northumberland and Durham in a relaxed narrative
style. It contains a wealth of interesting
information on the history, the countryside, the
towns and villages and established visitor
attractions, but it also focuses on promoting
the lesser known places of interest and places
to stay, eat and drink.
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. |
