| Why
Piercebridge On Tees ? |
| Conferences, meetings, and events will enjoy Piercebridge near Darlington for its village qualities (green, pubs, historic hotel, bridge across the Tees), and especially for its Roman legacy, dating from AD70. Features include the well-preserved and interpreted Roman Fort (view defences, latrine, hypocausts, courtyard buildings etc.) and a part of a bridge where the Roman Dere Street crosses the river. Venues include a fine independent heritage-style hotel.
Proximity to the French chateau-like Bowes Museum (finds from Piercebridge excavation alongside an internationally important collection of fine and decorative arts – totalling 10,000 exhibits), the destination of Darlington (shopping, restaurants, railway museum, theatre, etc.), Auckland Castle (home of the Prince Bishops of Durham), historic Barnard Castle (17th and 18th century buildings, ruined castle), and further places of Roman interest along the Dere Street Trail (e.g. the forts at Binchester, Lanchester and Ebchester), are further plus points. Conference delegates can reach Piercebridge easily via the A1/B6275, by train (via Darlington), and using flights into Durham Tees Valley airport.
In conclusion: think of Piercebridge as a ‘hideaway’ meetings destination, full of charm and character, fascinatingly Roman in theme, and close also to a choice of town and country destinations.
