Hartlepool attractions |
|
 Hartlepool is in County Durham, a county whose southern
boundary is formed by the River Tees, its northern boundary by
the River Tyne, its western boundary high in the Pennine Hills
and to the east, the limestone cliffs of its North Sea coastline,
the unspoilt Durham Heritage Coast. Here you will find the magnificent
World Heritage site Durham Cathedral and Durham Castle. The county
is mainly rural with the moors and valleys of Teesdale and Weardale,
bustling market towns, former colliery villages, majestic castles
and living museums. |
