111 Places in County Durham That You Shouldn't Miss will unveil Durham's secret depths and lesser-known delights, allowing it to step out from the shadow of its spectacular, UNESCO-listed cathedral and its highly-ranked university. This small, hilly city has its gems, but the county's historic towns (Bishop Auckland, Barnard Castle, Newton Aycliffe), by the water (Hartlepool, Seaham) and nestled away in its tiniest villages (Kelloe, Tow Law, Urpeth) are home to Durham's true hidden wonders. Discover the mysterious sea caves at Blackhall Rocks, or wander up Nose's Point. Traverse Durham city's wonkiest staircase, or make your own mind up about the county's most controversially-designed estate. Marvel at Killhope's working Waterwheel, and uncover the county's famous coal mining past. Unearth disused collieries and quarries reclaimed by the overgrowth surrounding them. Spot the six stone boar heads at Barnard Castle. Hear the real story behind Hartlepool's most baffling local legend, and try to stand atop a haunted copse if you dare. AUTHOR: Elizabeth Atkin is a writer and editor, originally from North East England. Born and raised in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, she has also lived in the County Durham towns of Barnard Castle and Darlington. She read English Language at Newcastle University, before becoming FHM magazine's web editor at age 21.
