A Taste of the High Life

Whether its adventure you’re after or culture this day out has it all. Summerhill’s high level ropes course and boulder climbing activity in Hartlepool is a great way to have some real fun with your friends and to test your head for heights. (Please note that both activities need to be booked in advance - contact Summerhill on 01429 284584 for information. The high ropes course is unavailable in winter months due to weather conditions.) For more dizzy heights visit Hartlepool’s Art Gallery where you’ll experience superb views of the Tees Valley from the building’s tower as well as check out the latest exhibition.

To bring you back down to earth then Casa Del Mar is a superb choice for lunch offering a vibrant Mediterranean menu with a classic Spanish feel.

And then for something a little bit more relaxing - take an afternoon immersed in maritime adventure at Hartlepool’s Maritime Experience where you will experience how it was aboard a real British naval frigate, two centuries ago. Explore the historic quayside, featuring 'Pressganged', 'Fighting Ships', realistic period shops and houses and much more.
