This is a beautiful and moving sculpture in the centre of Seaham. At the moment the area around it is cordoned off due to Covid.
2. Norman Cornish Trail

New for 2019 Covering an approximate distance of 1.5 miles and a moderate 50 mins walk, The Norman Cornish Trail allows you to follow in the artist's footsteps and identify the locations of many of his most iconic works. The trail is an experience that takes you back in time - back to a time when coal was once the life blood of industry here in Spennymoor and a key part of community life.

We’d been to High Force some years ago, so this time we headed to Low Force. We parked at Bowlees Visitor Centre. Parking there is pay and display and the ticket machine issues a ticket on receipt of your donation. There is a suggested donation depending how long you wish to stay. There is a small amount of free parking in a lay by on the road. From the car park you can walk across past the visitor centre and over the road, cross a field and through a small wooded area to see Low Force. You can cross a suspension bridge and walk to High Force, but we didn’t. We returned to the car park and from there found our way to Summerhill Force and Gibson’s Cave. It is a bit of a climb on some quite deep steps but well worth the effort.

Upstairs is a fixed exhibition giving a potted history of Durham and its environs and also the University. Very informative. Downstairs there are several rooms which hold temporary exhibitions - currently (to the end of February) sketches from Norman Cornish, which had me in tears. There is a small cafe and a shop too. Entrance to the Durham gallery is free and there may be a small fee for special exhibitions

The northern home of the National Museum of the Royal Navy. A fascinating journey through time, set in an authentically-created historic quayside of the 1800s. Experience Fighting Ships, a powerful insight into the tough lives of sailors from around the time of Admiral Lord Nelson and the Battle of Trafalgar. Learn how they were press ganged and see what life was like on board HMS Trincomalee, the oldest warship still afloat in the UK and the jewel in the historic quayside of Hartlepool.
