The jewel in the crown must be the Bowes Museum, built in the style of a French chateau and housing an internationally-acclaimed collection of European fine arts, ceramics and paintings. Not to be missed is the silver life-sized swan at the Bowes Museum, this mechanical masterpiece is incredibly lifelike and it actually moves as it preens its feathers on a shimmering metallic pool. Other attractions include Auckland Castle, Raby Castle, High Force Waterfall, The Forbidden Corner at Leyburn, Duncombe Park, Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Gardens, which can all be reached in under an hour.
