Twice in the past year I’ve headed with visitors to Beamish Museum – last year in the autumn with my 12-year old nephew and this year with a England-loving German. It was an enjoyable day out for both and gave a good insight into life in the region in the coal mining days. An impressive amount of public transport too – from buses to trams to steam trains.
In the summer months it’s a bit more expensive as there’s more to see and do. The price for an adult was £16, but it does allow you access for a full year. Beamish Museum is also dog friendly – there are lots of walks, they’re just not allowed into the buildings and need to be kept on a lead.
