If you can manage the walk this amazing Middlesbrough landmark is one to visit for sure. There a small town nearby with a convenience store to grab a picnic before you head up to... just make sure you bring walking boots ????

Great stadium, good seats with a great view, all staff really friendly as were the Boro supporters. Standard football stadium food, cheaper than London stadiums

The Tees Transporter Bridge has played an important role in the area's history for over a century and continues to Provide an important and unique crossing over the River Tees. In recent years the Transporter has emerged as a leading historic visitor attraction and is one of the UK's major sites for extreme sports including abseils, bungee jumps and zipslides. In 2011 to mark the Bridge's centenary the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) confirmed a £2.6m award for refurbishment and upgrade work to the Tees Transporter Bridge. The HLF supported Tees Transporter Bridge Visitor Experience Project included the installation of a glass viewing lift to provide improved access to the upper walkway, renovation of the gondola, replacement of the Bridge's motors and the development of state-of-the-art visitor facilities and resources.

If you're into industrial heritage this is a very interesting structure to see... and it's fully working transporting locals, visitors and their cars (or on foot) across the Tees. The car park is free for the first 2 hours which gives you ample time to see round the visitor centre, take a trip across the river to watch the transporter working from the promenade on the other bank and even go on the tour (might be worth booking in advance). The tour (only £5.50) includes walking across the top which gives excellent views of the area. Thankfully, there's a lift up! The guys who run the transporter and those in the visitor centre are all very friendly characters who obviously love their jobs and helped to make our day.

If you can climb up to it the view of Teesside and Redcar is worth it, had 100's of hours up here as a kid, do not go alone, as the usual rif raf can be around on bikes and a few people have recently been shot with air weapons, if you go up from the Flatts lane end the walk is not as steep but it will take longer

The Pennyman family's intimate 18th-century mansion. Alongside the Georgian mansion, Victorian kitchen and laundry, there are beautiful gardens and estate walks to explore. We also have permanent model railway displays.

There has been a working farm at Newham Grange since the 17th century. It is now a unique and extremely popular attraction for the whole family as well as school groups. With Cows, sheep, pigs, horses, wallabies and many more, come along for a day to remember time and time again!

We visited the farm today with our Children and grandchildren. What a lovely little farm! It’s not one of your larger farms but there is more than enough to do, we spent 4 hours there, obviously not everything was open because of covid but most parts are out doors so that was not a problem. There is a few play areas for children and good outdoor space to eat. The social distance measurements in place are very good. Time slots for booking so no congestion on entry, one way system in place round the site and in the cafe. Hand sanitisers in place and areas are clean. Very good value for money we only paid about £33 for a group of 8 and that was with 5 bags of food for the animals, I’m not sure if that was a reduced rate because of covid. Would visit again
