Press Trip Opportunity - Enjoy Durham's Great Outdoors
Nature reigns supreme across much of Durham, with the area's striking scenery providing a retreat into peace and tranquillity or the perfect opportunity to get outdoors and active.
And autumn is the perfect time to visit. Why not follow in the footsteps of adventurer Ben Fogle, who recently paid the county a visit to film a video for his online series, Ben Fogle's Great British Adventure.
Walking or cycling are the best ways to experience the county's beauty. Discover breathtaking views as you explore the Durham Dales and North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a European and UNESCO Global Geopark. Don't miss the picture-perfect High Force - one of England's biggest waterfalls.
Let the chain take the strain and head off on an electric bike, or head to Hamsterley Forest, a delightful 2,000-hectare oasis offering walking and cycling routes galore.
If you prefer coast to countryside, enjoy a walk among wild flowers and imposing headlands, and experience the dramatic views of the Durham Heritage Coast.
Visit one of the county's many nature reserves and country parks or enjoy stunning views of one of Europe's most dramatic skylines with a riverside walk in Durham City.
