PACKAGED ITINERARY
our way to Cragside . Cragside’s house and estate was created by a remarkable couple, Lord William and Lady Margaret Armstrong. William was a visionary Victorian inventor while Margaret was a keen gardener. The couple’s passions for engineering and natural sciences are reflected across the estate even today. Rising from an outcrop of rocks and surrounded by towering trees, Cragside is a masterpiece of the late 19th century. Day 4 Departure After breakfast, we make our way home.
Day 1 Arrival We arrive at our hotel in time for dinner. Day 2 Beamish Museum
Today we visit the Living Museum of the North, the Beamish Museum . This famous open-air museum, set within 300 acres of beautiful County Durham countryside, tells the story of life in Northeast England through the ages. We experience town life as it would have been in WWII, visit a 1940’s farm, the Colliery and Pit Village in the early 1900s and take unlimited free rides on the Beamish tram. The 1950s is represented with a range of buildings and terraces including a hairdresser and cinema. Most importantly, be sure to visit Davy’s Fried Fish. Dab & chips cooked the traditional way in coal-fired ranges using beef dripping and served up in specially printed newspaper - there may be a queue, but it will be worth the wait!
