This was an enjoyable day out with my grand children, and as an ex miner I found it interesting, drawback is it is well out of the way.

Used to be superb a few years back, home cooked and served by lovely staff. Last time the food was stale, and we felt a little ill afterwards. A real shame, it was a nice stopping off point for a hot bacon sarnie whilst touring the dales (no need to visit the museum) More

Killhope is one of the best tourist attractions in the north of England and offers something for all age groups.

Durham county council have made great efforts to make the site appeal... More

Reasonably priced, lots to do (for me too as well as her), and weighted on the educational side without making it appear so, this is an excellent place... More
