Stanhope is a picturesque haven amidst beautiful surroundings; the peaceful waters of the River Wear provide an idyllic backdrop for those who enjoy being outdoor and active too. Getting there can be over the AONB moorland of the North Pennines.
Don't miss the opportunity to see the famous fossil tree which is approximately 320 million years old, or visit the 12th Century church of St Thomas - a reminder of the area's Christian heritage where the Victorian font is made out of Frosterley marble.
