5 Day Select Holiday

Durham is steeped in a thousand years of history and presents a unique collection of historic landmarks, all bringing the past to life. Our cruise through the city on the meandering River Wear will treat you to the very best views of the Romanesque cathedral, Norman castle and ancient bridges. Afterwards, perhaps visit the Heritage Centre & Museum which is housed in a historic church with relics showcasing local history. Head to the Oriental Museum with its artefacts from ancient Egypt or discover Crook Hall where you’ll find a Jacobean drawing room and a silver garden. We spend a day in Barnard Castle, a market town named after the castle it’s built around. We also visit Whitby where you could follow in the footsteps of Captain Cook at his harbourside house, or view the abbey and church that were the settings for 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 superlative views of Durham City’s landmarks along with live commentary. Onboard 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. 
Barnard Castle
This enchanting market town is built around a twelfth century castle overlooking the River Tees. Its distinctive streets are crammed with antique and craft shops as well as quirky treasures such as the bullet-marked market cross. The Bowes Museum is a Frenchstyle chateau surrounded by gardens and housing decorative arts and is well worth a visit as is the medieval castle after which the town was named.
