Places to stay in The North East

The North East

Picnics and pony rides in the morning; great golf or luxury spa pampering in the afternoon; dinner and a show after dark. The beauty of North East England is not only its masses of award-winning attractions and amazing experiences, it’s the compact nature of the region, which means you can fit more of them into every day of your stay. This region was the northern frontier of the Roman Empire and the heartland of the powerful Kingdom of Northumbria. It was the land most deeply entrenched in the ancient border struggles with Scotland. It is the land of magnificent castles and fortified towers, of war-like Prince Bishops and home to a wonderful World Heritage cathedral. It is the home to the Tyne, the Wear and the Tees, three of England's most widely-famed rivers, each with their own distinct identity, rich industrial heritage and now the home to impressive, stylish and modern cultural developments.
