DAY 1: Depart from your home area in the morning travelling to the Redworth Hall Hotel. Enjoy a 4 nights stay with dinner, bed and breakfast. Tea/coffee and biscuits will be served on arrival.
DAY 2: Today we visit the famous Beamish North of England Open Air Museum, capturing the spirit of the North East in the 1800s and 1900s. Attractions include a restored tram and replica bus rides, an authentic town street, a colliery village, a trip down the mine, an old-fashioned sweet shop, a working farm, steam locomotives and much more. After our visit, we return to the hotel.
DAY 3: Today we make for Barnard Castle. In this little town you, can see where Dickens immortalised 'Dothboys Hall', take a look at Cromwell's refuge, browse around the antique shops or explore the castle itself, high above the River Tees. In the afternoon, we visit Raby Castle, one of the finest medieval castles remaining in Britain and the resident home of the Vane family since 1626. Raby has recently undergone a redevelopment termed The Rising, with a key feature being a fabulous new walled garden.
DAY 4: After a leisurely breakfast, we make the short journey to Auckland Castle. This proud home of the Bishops of Durham stands as one of the best-preserved bishops' palaces in Europe. Over the last decade, the site has undertaken major renovation work to bring the castle back to its former splendour. Enjoy time at leisure to explore the castle, with staterooms designed to tell the history and story of the Bishops that lived here. Outside in the grounds, there is a 17th-century walled garden to explore. This afternoon we have included an all-access ticket to The Auckland Project's other attractions in the town centre. You are free at leisure to explore. The Mining Art Gallery provides a truly unique insight into the lives and souls of this area's coal miners. The Spanish Art Gallery is linked to Auckland Castle's heritage as home to Francisco de Zurbarán's series of Spanish paintings for over 250 years. The Faith Museum looks to contemplate the ideas, implications, and impact of faith in Britain.
DAY 5: After breakfast, we leave and begin our journey home.
