It's in Our Nature

'Durham – it’s in our nature' perfectly explains the unparalleled landscapes and momentous history that has shaped the people, geography and culture of this remarkable county. Proud owners of one of Europe’s most stunning city panoramas, Durham Cathedral and Castle are evidence of its historic and cultural influence. Equally exceptional are the countryside and coast that encase Durham City. The Durham Dales, home to the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, includes Teesdale and Weardale - both serene, rich and varied landscapes of moors, hills and winding rivers. And don't miss the dramatic Durham Heritage Coast where the land magnificently greets the sea.

Those who crave culture won't be disappointed either, with a packed year-round calendar of events to enjoy and galleries and museums to experience, including the award-winning Beamish Museum where you will come face-to-face with the past.

So whether you're in search of some tranquil time out or a chance to get outdoors and active, or if you want to get hands-on with history or crave culture, visit Durham - it's in our nature.
