Chances are if you're from the North East of England, you've visited Beamish Museum on a school trip or day out.
The Living Museum of the North is an open-air museum located at Beamish, near Stanley, in County Durham.
It tells the story of life in North East England during the 1820s, 1900s and 1940s and beyond and most of its houses, shops and other buildings have been rebuilt and furnished from a particular time period. A perfect family-fun day out, filled with history, heritage and activities - there's plenty to do and see at the museum.
