Durham Travel Bargain Deals

Posted by Mike Gerrard Jul 28, 2008

I was recently in Durham and as well as seeing the magnificent Cathedral, the famous Durham Miners' Gala and Crook Hall and Gardens in Durham itself, I also saw the wonderful Auckland Castle in Bishop Auckland. Several of these attractions have got together and agreed some discount deals for visitors this summer, to help everyone who's facing up to the credit crunch.

Some of the deals on offer include 2-for-1 admission to places including Auckland Castle, the Weardale Railway, the Tanfield Railway, Barnard Castle, the Bowes Mseum, Crook Hall and Gardens, Durham Castle, the Treasures of St Cuthbert at Durham Cathedral, Prince Bishop River Cruises, the Botanic Garden, the North of England Lead Mining Museum at Killhope, Durham's fabulous Oriental Museum, and several other attractions.

There are other offers too, such as free admission for kids at Hall Hill Farm, shopping discounts, and 10% off selected bike rides with North of England Trike Tours.

The full details are available on the Durham Tourism Partnership website by clicking this link, and you'll also be able to download the discount vouchers. Well done Durham, I say!
