Officially we have the fastest flowing traffic in the UK, which means that you can be at a conference one minute and relaxing with a coffee beside a first class marina the next!

What others say about us...

‘I unhesitatingly give Durham my vote for best cathedral on Planet Earth. I got off at Durham... and fell in love with it instantly in a serious way. Why, it’s wonderful - a perfect little city’
Bill Bryson - Notes From a Small Island

Tees Valley “is not a name which automatically trips off the tongue of anyone asked to list the rural beauty spots of Britain. But believe me it deserves a place high up on that list. We flew along the line of the river Tees to its dramatic source in the Northern Pennines and back to the estuary on the rugged East coast”

Everyone is so friendly, this feels like the real England.
