Despite its reputation for unpredictable weather, a Holiday Home in Yorkshire, Northumberland or Durham can offer you something a bit special.
The North East of England is a region that offers miles of outstanding coastline and countryside with a rich history dating back to the time when it was once the most northern outpost of the Roman Empire.
With the Farne Islands and Lindisfarne to the east and the Cheviot Hills to the west, Northumberland has many castles, historical houses and religious sites some of which clearly show the scars of the Viking invasions and the 'Border Wars'.
To the west is Durham, a county of moors and rivers renowned for its fascinating heritage and breath-taking scenery. The cathedral and castle of Durham City are majestic sights which cannot fail to impress, and both have been designated World Heritage Sites.
Tyne and Wear is a metropolitan area which includes the cities of Sunderland and Newcastle upon Tyne which is widely acclaimed for its museums, galleries, shopping centres and vibrant nightlife and it is a region where the famous names of George Stephenson, Joseph William Swan and Earl Grey will long continue to be remembered.
The Tees Valley to the south is bordered by the North Yorkshire Moors and is an area with a strong industrial heritage,
scenic countryside and coastline.
The beauty of the Yorkshire Dales, the open splendours of the North York Moors, the Howardian Hills and the exciting coastal scenery together provide an experience not to be forgotten.
Each part has its own unique characteristics but what they all have in common are warm and friendly communities.
Places of Interest include: Durham Castle, Lindesfarne Castle, Alnwick Gardens, Woddhorn Colliery, Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle, Tynemouth Priory, Castle Garth, Discovery Museum, Museum of Hartlepool, North Yorkshire Moors Railway...
