View all dates

5 Day Select Holiday

Durham is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, steeped in a thousand years of history, with a unique collection of historic landmarks, all bringing the past to life. It is loved for its winding cobbled lanes and old world charm. Durham’s dramatic Romanesque cathedral and castle are tourist magnets and have been used as filming locations for Harry Potter movies. Our cruise on the meandering River Wear through Durham will treat you to the very best views of the notable historic architecture and ancient bridges. Afterwards, perhaps visit Durham Museum & Heritage Centre which is housed in a historic church and showcases local history. Head to the Oriental Museum with its artefacts from countries such as China, Japan and ancient Egypt or discover the National Trust’s Crook Hall Gardens where you’ll find a mix of medieval, Jacobean and Georgian architecture as well as English style gardens. Out and about, we get up close to the iconic Angel of the North, before spending time in the scenic market town of Hexham. We also head to Whitby where you could visit Captain Cook’s harbourside house or view the spooky settings from the gothic horror novel Dracula.

Your Excursions

Durham City River Wear Cruise
We head to Browns Boathouse to board the Prince Bishop for our river cruise enjoying exceptional views of Durham City’s landmarks along with live commentary. On board you’ll find a sun deck and a café bar. Afterwards, explore Durham at your own pace. Don’t miss the World Heritage cathedral and castle.

Whitby
Attractions include the haunting remains of the abbey which, along with St Mary’s Church, inspired Bram Stoker’s gothic tale of Dracula. Follow in the footsteps of Captain Cook at his harbourside house where the great explorer served his apprenticeship.

The Angel of the North & Hexham
 First up, we make a photo stop at the famous Angel of the North, Sir Antony Gormley’s iconic statue which stands 66 feet tall with a wingspan of 177 feet. From here, we continue to Hexham where, you might like to visit the magnificent gothic abbey with its stained glass and notable artefacts, and the Old Gaol attraction, England’s first prison and a historic treasure. Or browse the independent gift shops.
