Durham Cathedral
Is the greatest Norman building in England, perhaps even in Europe. It is cherished not only for its architecture but also for its incomparable setting. For this reason, it was inscribed together with the Castle as one of Britain's first World Heritage Sites. In a nationwide BBC poll held in 2001,it was voted the nation's best-
Alnwick castle and gardens
To many people, their first sight of this glorious medieval castle can seem foreboding, and certainly its history lacks nothing in drama and intrigue. Some people may recognise it as a film location for everything from Harry Potter to Becket to Elizabeth to Blackadder.

Bamburgh castle
Bamburgh Castle is arguably one of the finest castles in England. It is perched on a basalt outcrop on the very edge of the North Sea at
Bamburgh, Northumberland. It commands stunning views of the Farne Islands, Holy Island and land' ward to the Cheviot hills.
The castle has been extensively restored, first by Lord Crewe in the 1750's and more recently by the first Lord Armstrong at the end of the 19th century. The castle continues to be the home of the Armstrong family.
Hadrians wall and forts
Hadrian's Wall was built in AD122 on the orders of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, and stretched from the East to West coasts of Britain, from Brownness on Solway in the West to Wallsend in the East. It is the most remarkable Roman monument in the country, and quite unique throughout the former Empire. Housesteads is recognised as the best preserved Roman fort in the country. Perched high on a ridge in a natural defensive position, it offers breathtaking views over miles of open moorland. The fort covers five acres, and its virtually complete defensive walls enclose a good range of visible buildings. These include headquarters and commander's house, granaries, barracks, a hospital, and remarkable latrines. A small museum provides an introduction to the site, and shelter from the fresh Northumbrian breezes. Housesteads adjoins one of the best stretches of Hadrian's Wall, and there are opportunities to walk the Wall's spectacular ridge in both directions from the fort.
Beamish open air museum

Much of the restoration and interpretation is specific to the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, together with portions of countryside under the influence of industrial revolution in 1825. On its 300 acres (120 ha) estate it utilises a mixture of translocated, original and replica buildings; a huge collection of artifacts, working vehicles and equipment; as well as livestock and costumed interpreters.
The museum has received a number of awards since it opened its present site to visitors in 1972 and has been influential on other "living museums". It is a significant educational resource and helps to preserve some traditional north-
