NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM (The Hidden Places Series)

Now printed in full colour, this is the 4th edition of The Hidden Places of Northumberland and Durham, two counties well worth visiting with their origins in the ancient Kingdom of Northumbria. County Durham not only possesses some beautiful and unspoiled landscape such as the Durham Dales but is blessed with the historic city of Durham, impressive castles, and a deep industrial heritage. Northumberland is one of England's loveliest counties with its National Park, Cheviot Hills and Kielder Water and Forest. It also has an attractive coastline containing the historic Holy Island of Lindisfarne as well as Hadrian's Roman Wall and many historic castles. Previous editions received excellent reviews - "The book is crammed with useful information and fascinating history" - Berwick and Borders Gazette. The book is packed with information and colored photographs covering the more secluded and little known venues for food, accommodation and places of interest as well as the more enduring attractions of Northumbria. The attractive cover features eye-catching photographs of Durham Cathedral from the west bank of the River Weir, County Durham, Banburgh Castle Beach, Northumberland and White Chapel near Slayley, Northumberland.
