Hillcrest Country Park - Hawthorn Cottage
Barnard Castle, North East England
Hawthorn Cottage sits within Hillcrest Country Park near Barnard Castle, County Durham, and makes a quiet base for two. It's a straightforward spot for a couple wanting to potter around the Durham countryside without much fuss.
The Bowes Museum is within easy reach at 5.9 miles, good for an afternoon browsing galleries, while the Tees Cottage Pumping Station's Beam Engine House and its Visitor Centre and Gas Engine House are both a short drive away too, handy if you enjoy a bit of industrial history. Shildon station, 8.3 miles off, gives you a rail link should you fancy leaving the car behind for a day out.
