About this activity
The Heritage Centre at Bellingham in Northumberland is the perfect place for a family visit. The history of this ruggedly beautiful and historic place is captured in five permanent displays covering farming (including a 'reconstruction' of the Stannersburn smithy or farriery), mining, the Border Counties Railway, the Border Reivers, and the photography of W P Collier. Families with young children love the Heritage Centre. As well as viewing the displays (where some items can be handled), they can ride the toy tractor, check out the tunnel, and dial up recordings by local people in the old red phone box. So what are you waiting for? It's the perfect place to learn something new whilst also having fun.
For even more interactive fun, use the 'Chatterboxes' to hear memories or music, count the ladybirds, do the special quiz, play in the old school 'room', check their skill with 'Sammy the Salmon' or try out a Reiver's helmet for size! There truly is something for everyone no matter you're age or knowledge.
