The western boundary of County Durham goes high
in the Pennine hills to the limestone cliffs of its North Sea coast.
Large areas of upland probably still look much as they did two
thousand years ago. Winding quiet roads now open up panoramic
Pennine views of some of the highest, wildest and finest scenery in
the country. This rugged grandeur is emphasised at High Force,
England’s largest waterfall. The North Pennines is officially
recognised as an Area of Outstanding National Beauty.
Durham City is a city of cafés, galleries, and unique, one-off
shops. Trek across the vast moors and valleys of Teesdale and
Weardale, visit majestic castles, living
museums,
and bustling market towns and villages. County Durham has a lot to
offer.
