5) Beamish
Explore how our recent ancestors used to live at Beamish 'the living museum of the north'. This 350 acre open-air museum preserves buildings and businesses from the 1820s to the 1950s, and presents a typical village in north eastern England.

The buildings here have been collected, relocated, or faithfully constructed to make your day as realistic as possible. Visit the steam engines of the 1820s Pockerley Waggonway, and drop into John's Café for an ice cream - it looks just as it did in the 1950s.
