Every family is different and here in North East England there’s something for everyone.

Some love getting to grips with North East history, learning the gory details and strange customs of times past. For others the natural world is where they find their fun. Nature trails, rock pools, wildlife centres and farmyards are all perfect options. For families of storytellers and daydreamers true escape is about visiting the places that bring fantasy to life – castles and waterfalls, grand halls and antique gardens.

Then there are those who just can’t stop moving – cycling, trekking, boulder-climbing; anything to get the adrenaline pumping. Maybe your family is a bit of a mix. Whoever you are and whatever you love doing, you’ll find it here.
