Local attractions

If you're at the site in summer, take yourself and the crew along to the spectacular live history show of Kynren, using a cast and crew of hundreds to tell the tale of two thousand years of English history and legend as seen by a child. Durham has history galore all year round too: you could also steam along to Locomotion (the Shildon railway museum, within 15 minutes), Bowes Museum (25 minutes), the open-air exhibits of Beamish Museum (45 minutes) and the Kynren backdrop of Auckland Castle (15 minutes). And then there's mighty old Durham (30 minutes), home of spectacular Durham Cathedral as well as – possibly of more interest to the kids – a maze and gardens at Crook Hall. The Hartlepool seaside town of Seaton Carew and the North Yorkshire resort of Redcar are within 40 and 45 minutes' drive for beach days; hikes and bike routes are close by, and the famed High Force waterfall is 40 minutes away. Info on local tourist attractions is at the pub.
