Did you know that Durham was the birthplace of English mustard, invented by Mrs Clements and first ground at a mill in Saddler Street in Durham City in the 18th Century? Today the county is still home to innovative local producers, including award-winning cheese makers, artisan bakers, brewers, butchers and farmers. Get a true taste of Durham by stocking up at one of the county’s farm shops, farmers markets or foodie events including the annual Bishop Auckland Food Festival and Seaham Food Festival.

And to take your taste buds on a gastronomic journey, these two food trails will help you explore the Durham Dales and North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, experiencing great food and drink along the way.
