Beamish Holiday Park offers a welcoming, family-friendly environment with great amenities. The Bobby Shafto pub is just a short walk away and serves meals, drinks, and a friendly atmosphere. A play park keeps younger guests entertained, while regular events such as bingo nights, quizzes, and live entertainment bring guests together and add to the park’s community feel. It’s a great place to meet fellow holidaymakers or simply enjoy a quiet evening close to home. There’s plenty to explore nearby.
Just minutes away is the famous Beamish Museum, where you can visit Pockerley Manor itself and experience life in the 1800s.

The surrounding area is full of scenic walking spots, including the historic Causey Arch and nearby Tanfield Railway, where steam trains still run through the countryside. Durham City is only a 20-minute drive and offers a spectacular cathedral, castle, shops, and riverside walks.
