Tourist attractions in the North East

Many attractions are already listed local to the many seaside towns in the north east region but many make a great day out wherever you are staying.

Family Attractions & Fun Parks

Captain Cook Country... >>
The great explorer set sail from Whitby and was born not far away. There are museums and a fascinating tour which takes in a lot more of this beautiful part of the country.

Atlantis Waterpark...
Boasting two of the longest waterslides in the country, you are guaranteed a good time. Its heated too!

Sewerby... >>
The 50 acre Sewerby Hall & Gardens park is just beyond the north beach and is the perfect location for a picnic. Within the grounds there is the beautiful regency Hall to explore, a children's zoo, bowling green and an adventure playground.

Heritage and Museums

Beamish Open Air Museum... >>
The North of England Open Air Museum brings the past to life with a victorian town, farm and railway. The realism and attention to detail have won Beamish both the British Museum of the Year and European Museum of the Year Awards.

Eden Camp... >>
Winner of the top UK visitor attraction award, Eden Camp is a second world war museum built on an actual prisoner of war camp. Experience the sights, sounds even smells of war time Britain.

National Glass Centre... >>
A unique venture, the purpose built facility promotes and shows glass in all its uses from 5000BC to hi-tech fibre optics. The centre is also home to artists and a glass shop.

Whitby Abbey... >>
The imposing ruins of the monastic abbey hide a more distant history, there has been building on this site since the Romans. The new visitors center tells all.
