Set within acres of unexpected beauty, complete with heritage buildings, remodelled gardens, stylish shopping, must-see events, woodland play and local food that is as fresh as it gets, sourced or inspired from the Estate.

About the area

County Durham reaches halfway across England, from the North Pennines in the west, to the sea in the east. Much of it is very sparsely inhabited, and is naturally beautiful; a mix of rolling hills, monumental valleys, lush farmland and unforgiving moors.
