County Durham stretches from the North Pennines in the west to the North Sea Coast in the east, with the city of Durham at its heart. The city is small enough to explore on foot with its castle and cathedral of such interest that it is designated a World Heritage Site. In this county you will find unspoilt countryside, including some of the highest, wildest and finest scenery in England . The North Pennines ANOB is ideal for walking, cycling, riding and wildlife-watching. Derwent and other reservoirs offer opportunities for sailing, fishing, canoeing and even water-skiing. Add to all of this a fascinating heritage from mediaeval castles to historic railways and you have a county full of interest and attraction. The Tees Valley offers a wide selection of things to do in order to enjoy the great outdoors. While for those who like to get wet there is the choice of white water rafting at the Tees Barrage, coastal water sports or sailing, diving at Redcar and Hartlepool and surfing the waves at internationally acclaimed Saltburn.
