Middleton In Teesdale Cottages
Welcome to the Durham Dales in the North Pennines AONB and, in
particular, Teesdale, naturally blessed with wild, open moorland
and dense, wooded valleys.
Such splendid scenery encourages all kinds of outdoor pursuits,
from cycling along the C2C Route and exhilarating cross-country
hacks, to water sports and wonderful walks along numerous trails.
Make your base a Middleton-in-Teesdale cottage and you're right
on the Pennine Way. This charming market town is more like a big
village, framed by the Pennine Fells and nestling beside the River
Tees. Enjoy its delightfully old-fashioned and very relaxing
atmosphere. Amenities on offer include a fantastic visitor centre,
tearooms, pubs and a small selection of shops. One of
Middleton's prime attractions is High Force Waterfall -
England's largest single-drop waterfall - and there's a
lovely walk that's popular with families.
Other attractions close to your Middleton-in-Teesdale
cottage
Barnard Castle is a delight to explore, with its attractive
architecture, antique shops and riverside walks. Make time to
explore its ancient castle ruins, protected by English
Heritage.
Next stop - and possibly Teesdale's crowning jewel - the
Bowes Museum, built in the style of a French château and
housing extraordinary collections of art. Other historic gems
include the 14th Century Raby Castle and Rokeby Hall and Park on
the banks of the Tees.
Cromwell, Dickens and Sir Walter Scott - famous faces associated
with this glorious region. Isn't it time you booked a Teesdale
cottage and discovered why they so loved this special corner of
North East England?
