Teesdale Alpacas.
If the kids' favourite words over the summer holiday are ‘I’m bored’, wow them with an Alpaca trek or farm visit. Treks and visits can be tailored for most requirements so everyone can enjoy a day out with a difference this summer.
Egglestone Abbey.
Set above a bend in the River Tees near Barnard Castle sit the ruins of a small monastery. This spot is a perfect location for a picnic, and soaking up the heritage and the sun- just don’t forget your sunscreen and favourite sunglasses.
