DURHAM TEES VALLEY
Experience nearly 1000 years of history
on a guided Durham Castle Tour. Built
on the orders of William the Conqueror
in the 1070s, it began life as a motte-and-
bailey castle and soon became a palace
to showcase the wealth of the Prince
Bishops, whose semi-regal powers meant
they were some of the most powerful
political and military men in the country.
Knowledgeable tour guides will take you
through the gatehouse and into the heart
of the historic building to experience tales
from 900 years of living history.
DUSSELDORF
From pasta to schnitzel, a large
selection of steaks, seasonal dishes,
regional specialities and vegetarian
options, you’ll find it all and more at the
comfortable, modern, Restaurant Vossen
in Düsseldorf-Friedrichstadt. Only fresh
ingredients are used by the team of chefs
in this friendly restaurant, and you’re more
than welcome to enjoy just a beer, glass
of wine or a cocktail if you’re not hungry.
But how could you not be tempted by
classic dishes including Schnitzel with a
Mushroom Sauce, or their special Rump
Steak with Bacon, Onions and Mushrooms.

about Guinness, with a huge area of
