In a nutshell: Pet friendly, panoramic views, great walking from doorstep, woodburning stove. When it comes to holiday cottages Durham has a great choice for fell walkers. The bleak yet beautiful northern Pennines await you. This remote and sparsely populated area of moorland and dales is home to an industrial heritage of lead mines and quarries that will fill you with admiration for the people who worked here in this uncompromising landscape. Whilst not as instantly appealing as, say, the Lakeland fells, the northern Pennines have a brooding quality and a bleakness that has great beauty. The vast emptiness is inspiring and will draw you back, time after time.
