Day of arrival:
We recommend starting your experience by exploring Beamish Museum on your first day. You can spend the entire day at the Museum which tells the story of life in North East England during the 1820s,1900s, 1940s and 1950s! Don’t worry if you can’t fit it all in, your one year unlimited passes are on us - so you can return at your leisure!
You can then make your short journey back to the Inn, where you can enjoy a seasonal dinner in our Shafto Suite Restaurant. Why not try one of our brewed on site beers or our own signature RIP gins? The perfect night cap before heading back to your room and resting your head for the night.
Stay over day:
On the second day, you can continue your exploration of the North by visiting the historical Durham City, Durham Cathedral, and Durham Castle which offer experiences for all; from walking in the paths of saints, paying pilgrimage to shrines, marvelling at some of the oldest surviving Norman architecture of its scale, ghostly tales of the Castles’ Grey Lady or visiting the location of some more modern day epics - Harry Potter and Marvel!
If you fancy a day with a more alfresco theme - explore the Durham river banks, view epic bridges from the Prince Bishop River Cruiser, or visit Durham University Botanical Gardens. Or simply soak up Durham City - walking the cobbled streets, visiting the indoor market, and visiting the many shops, cafes bars, and restaurants that are making their history part of Durham City history.
