🍂 **5 THINGS TO DO NEAR THE BARN OAKENSHAW THIS AUTUMN** 🍂

Planning an autumn escape to County Durham? Save this one. 👇

There’s so much to explore within easy reach of The Barn Oakenshaw — and autumn is one of our favourite times of year to do it.

🚂 **1. Spend the day at Beamish Museum**
Step back in time at one of the North East’s best-loved attractions. Trams, old-fashioned shops, traditional treats and plenty to explore — an absolutely brilliant family day out.

🏰 **2. Explore Durham City**
Wander the cobbled streets, visit the magnificent Cathedral, walk alongside the River Wear and stop somewhere cosy for lunch or a coffee.

🌲 **3. Head to Hamsterley Forest**
Pull on the walking boots and enjoy miles of woodland trails surrounded by autumn colours. Great for families who want to get outdoors.

🏛️ **4. Discover Auckland Castle & Bishop Auckland**
Explore the historic castle and grounds and make a day of discovering everything The Auckland Project has brought to the town.

🥾 **5. Stay local & slow things down**
You don't always need a big day out. Enjoy the countryside around Oakenshaw, head out for a walk and then come back, fire up the wood-fired hot tub and enjoy a cosy evening in. 🔥

And the best part?

**You can do all of this with The Barn Oakenshaw as your countryside base.** 🏡🍂

From smaller family stays to exclusive use of our entire 6-acre Estate for up to 16 guests, there’s an Oakenshaw stay for groups of different sizes.

🏰 **HAVE YOU EXPLORED BISHOP AUCKLAND LATELY?**

There's been so much happening in Bishop Auckland over recent years that it's well worth putting aside a day to explore.

Visit **Auckland Castle and The Auckland Project**, wander around the historic market place, explore the museums and galleries, stop somewhere for lunch and make a proper day of it.

And if you're visiting while **Kynren** is running, you can even finish the day with one of the most spectacular outdoor shows in the country. ✨

The Barn Oakenshaw makes a great countryside base for discovering this part of County Durham.

Sometimes you don't need to travel far at all. 🌿

🍂 **AUTUMN IS COMING TO COUNTY DURHAM…** 🍂

Crisp mornings, changing leaves, countryside walks, cosy evenings and hot tubs under darker skies. 🔥

There’s something rather special about escaping to the countryside once summer starts to disappear.

At The Barn Oakenshaw, you can spend your days exploring everything County Durham has to offer — then head back to your own private retreat, light the wood-fired hot tub and settle in for the evening.

🌲 6 acres of peaceful countryside
🔥 Private wood-fired hot tubs
🥾 Beautiful walks on the doorstep
🏰 Durham City, Beamish & some of the North East’s best days out within easy reach
🏡 Stays for couples, families and larger groups

8 guests = £75 per person, per night
12 guests = £50 per person, per night
16 guests = £37.50 per person, per night

So you don't need to fill every bed to make it worthwhile.
