    Barnard Castle town was a nice place to go for a day trip.

    Barnard Castle town was a nice place to go for a day trip. lots of cafes and antique type places. We went to do a couple of cycling routes, one of them being the Tees valley railway which was really enjoyable, lots of wild flowers and butterflies and the scenery was stunning. Only thing i would point out is that a lot of the businesses in the surrounding small towns and villages shut on a Tuesday. Never been to this part of the country and will definitely be back.

    Like so many towns, Chester-le-Street has been hollowed out by online shopping. The key difference is that, whereas the towns that are local to where I live that have suffered the same fate as Chester-le-Street provide free parking in an effort to encourage trade, Chester-le-Street charge a fairly full price for parking. Regrettably, if I was in the area again it's not even a place I'd drop into because of the parking fees.

    Beamish is a fantastic place to visit for the whole family.

    Beamish is a fantastic place to visit for the whole family. Staff are all in Period Costume of the day and give you the history of that period. It's so big, we recommend riding on one of many Period Trams and Buses to your chosen area, as it can be a long walk. We highly recommend doing Beamish over several daysif you can, as it's too much of a rush to do it all in one day.
