Local attractions

If you’re itching to hurl yourself down a hill on your mountain bike, Hamsterley Forest (20 minutes’ drive) is the place to go and get muddy. There are routes for most abilities here, from (relatively) gentle off-road tracks for less experienced riders to technically demanding black trails. The North Pennines have dark sky status, and you can make the most of the night sky at Grassholme Observatory (half an hour). This facility on the banks of Grassholme Reservoir holds regular events that start with an informative talk and conclude with a look through powerful telescopes. Stretching along the River Wear, the university city of Durham (35 minutes) is known for its medieval cathedral, home to splendid stained-glass windows and Harry Potter filming locations. For a breather with a scenic view of the cathedral, head to Crook Hall Gardens.
