Durham is steeped in history and celebrates it at every corner – from the striking Norman architecture, historic cathedral and museums and exhibitions galore, it is the perfect destination for history enthusiasts. 

Stepping back into the not-so-distant past in comparison, this tour encompasses all things steam and locomotive.  Head to the Shildon Railway Museum, home to iconic locomotives and beautiful collections of engineering marvels and world-changing inventions and learn the stories behind these stunning vehicles.  If fine-gauge railways, freight trains or the Flying Scotsman is your passion, you’ll want to alight here! 

 

Return to 20^th century life in Northeast England at the Beamish Museum and experience living, breathing history.  This open-air working museum is dedicated to all things historical, and brings to life the sights, sounds and smells (and even tastes) of life through the ages.  This hands-on experience is one not to be missed, so hop on one of their vintage trams or buses to fully immerse yourself in this adventure.
