Local Attractions
- Timothy Hackworth Victorian & Railway Museum (6 miles) - Not just a museum, you can experience first hand and with actual exhibits from the time, the revolution of transport dating from the early 1800's and the part that Hackworth and the people of Shildon played in it.
- Binchester Roman Fort (8 miles) - Binchester, once the largest Roman fort in County Durham, has a rich, exciting history. Dating from AD79, it was one of a network of forts along Dere Street, the main Roman supply route between York and the Firth of Forth.
- Auckland Castle (8 miles) - Auckland Castle is the home of the Bishop of Durham, and has been for the past 800 years. 10 miles from Durham, the heart of the Diocese, the castle has been extended every 200 years since the original banqueting hall was built in the 12th Century.
- Beamish: The North of England Open Air Museum (22 miles) - Welcome to Beamish, The North of England Open Air Museum, where the past comes to life. Beamish is unique. We're no ordinary museum but a living, working experience of life as it was in the Great North in the early 1800s and 1900s.
