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.

 

The writer 

An Oxford Classics graduate, Peter Long dabbled briefly in financial planning before deciding that words were more appealing then numbers. He subsequently spent many years as an inspector and writer with Egon Ronay's Hotels & Restaurants Guides before joining the Travel Publishing editorial team in 1998. He has written titles covering the West Country, Yorkshire, the North West of England, the Heart of England, the Lake District & Cumbria, the South East, Cornwall, the South of England, Dorset, Hampshire & the Isle of Wight, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Suffolk and Wales.
