Auckland Palace

Explore over 2,000 years of history and offer a day exploring art, history and nature, centred around the magnificent Auckland Palace, one of the best-preserved bishop’s palaces in Europe.
Positioned high above the meandering River Wear, Auckland Palace is a remarkable symbol of faith and power and was once the seat of the Prince Bishops of Durham. The Prince Bishops were given exceptional powers by the Norman kings of England, as well as the Church, and governed vast swathes of North East England.
