The Birds and the Seas
If you’re an experienced bird watcher or simply want to get a bit closer to nature then visit the RSPB Saltholme, a fantastic new wildlife experience in the Tees Valley. The beautiful nature reserve is home to a variety of wildlife all year round. There is also an adventure playground for the kids. A great location for a spot of lunch and you can enjoy a range of delicious locally sourced food from its café whilst enjoying the view from its panoramic windows.
For a full day out why not spend the afternoon at Hartlepool’s Maritime Experience for naval adventure. Or if travelling from the south take a trip over the Transporter Bridge.
