The area’s rich industrial heritage can be seen in the remains of our lead mining past, and you can see how the miners lived and worked on a visit to family-friendly Killhope, the North of England Lead Mining Museum. Don’t forget to stop off at the fascinating Weardale Museum in Ireshopeburn, where you can see the Weardale Tapestry and marvel at the historic High House Chapel.

A great way to get to grips with the rural way of life is to join the locals at one of the many agricultural shows in August and September.

Plants and animalsWildlife thrives in Weardale and the wider North Pennines - red squirrels (which can be seen on the squirrel trail at Killhope Museum), otters, black grouse and thousands of breeding wading birds can all be found here. In late spring and early summer our glorious traditional hay meadows are awash with colourful wildfl owers whilst in August the moors burst into purple splendour as the heather blooms.

Beneath your feet ...The rocks and landscapes of Weardale and the North Pennines have amazing stories to tell, of moving continents and tropical seas, of molten rock and ice sheets, of minerals and the men that mined them.

As well as being an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the North Pennines is a European and Global Geopark – a UNESCO endorsed accolade which refl ects the area’s worldclass geological heritage.

Stay awhileOne day won’t be enough, so why not stay for several? You’ll fi nd a wide variety of accommodation to suit all tastes from luxury hotel to cosy bed and breakfast, from self-catering cottage or caravan to bunkhouse and campsite.

A Warm Weardale Welcome Lying high in the North Pennines, Weardale is a twenty mile ribbon of river and road bringing you along tranquil lanes, past tumbling rivers and waterfalls, through vibrant communities, over high moorland expanses and within touching distance of the rarest wildlife, all through a landscape forged by man’s centuries’ old battles with nature.

A great place to fi nd out about the area is the Durham Dales Centre in Stanhope – with its tearooms, gift and craft shops it’s perfect for a leisurely afternoon; or 10 minutes up the road to the Upper Weardale Visitor Information Points inside Chatterbox Café in St John’s Chapel and Killhope Museum.

Enjoy the outdoorsWeardale is a special part of the North Pennines, a place where you can stretch your legs, spread your wings and explore one of our fi nest landscapes. This is perfect country for walking, cycling, horse riding, fi shing, and wildlife watching. Whether you’re looking for riverside wanders or more challenging routes you’ll be spoilt for choice! You’ll fi nd traffi c-free family cycling, mountain biking and woodland walks in the nearby Hamsterley Forest or hire a bike from Durham Dales Bike Hire in St John’s Chapel and take on some of the country’s toughest climbs - including the highest road in England.

You can even enjoy a dip in the heated Weardale Open Air Swimming Pool in Stanhope, play a round at Crook Golf Club or strap on your skis and indulge in some winter sports at the Weardale Ski Club – snow permitting! Dine in style on the Weardale Railway or return at Christmas to enjoy the Polar Express.

People and placesWeardale has a distinctive character, with attractive settlements to explore, such as Stanhope, Rookhope, Wolsingham and St. John’s Chapel, while in nearby Derwentdale is the picturesque conservation village of Blanchland and the lovely hamlet of Hunstanworth.
