The Hidden Places of Northumberland & Durham (8th ed.)

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.
