DAY 1: Depart from your home area in the morning travelling to the Derwent Manor. Enjoy a 4 nights stay dinner, bed and breakfast.
DAY 2: This morning we head to the charming town of Hexham, with its historic Abbey. Today is market day! Enjoy the morning exploring and browsing the market stalls at leisure. For those history lovers, why not visit Hexham Old Gaol or the Queen's Hall Arts Centre. This afternoon we venture to the luxurious Slaley Hall Hotel. Here we enjoy a delightful cream tea at this Edwardian mansion house before returning back to the hotel.
DAY 3: This morning we travel to the former RAF Usworth and Sunderland airport site, now known as the North East Land Sea and Air Museums. We head back in time at this volunteer run site to learn all about its collection of military vehicles including a cold war Avro Vulcan B2 Bomber. Following our morning visit we head for South Shields, home of the late Catherine Cookson. Here we have free time to obtain lunch and enjoy this seaside town with its beautiful coastline and towering cliffs.
DAY 4: This morning we travel to Ushaw, 'a place where wonder, curiosity and amazement collide'. Here we enjoy entrance to the house, chapels, gardens, café and exhibitions. Ushaw opened in 1808 as a Catholic college but later opened to the public in 2014 as a visitor attraction. Ushaw is rich in art, heritage and architecture - during the visit we have the opportunity to learn all about its history and collections of important artefacts. This afternoon we travel to the ancient and historic City of Durham, acclaimed as a World Heritage Site and dominated by the magnificent Norman Cathedral and Castle, high above the River Wear. We have time to explore at leisure.
DAY 5: After breakfast, we leave and begin our journey home.
