"I grew up in Poland and left the country after graduating from university. Me and my wife moved back to the UK and found ourselves in the North East by chance, really. But we’ve come to love this part of the country. People are friendly, there’s lots of outdoors stuff you can do (North Pennines, national parks) and the seaside is just 25 minutes from our house."

Durham doesn’t disappoint for entertainment options either, with award winning restaurants, bars and pubs, majority using local produce from farms across the county. Every two years Durham Lumiere Festival takes place in Durham City Centre, where the city comes to life with the most magical display of lights. Thousands of people coming from across the country to see the different displays. You can also step back in time at fascinating heritage attractions including Beamish, the Living Museum of the North, and see history come to life at Kynren – the must-see open air spectacular that takes place in Bishop Auckland every summer.
