“Know Your North Pennines” is a training programme run during the winter for tourism operators living and working in the North Pennines.

Each day-long session concentrates on one aspect of the special qualities of the North Pennines, for example lead mining, hay meadows or birds of prey. The sessions are a mixture of talks and outdoor sessions.  

Typically a day will consist of talks in the morning, and an afternoon visit to see the subject in the field in the afternoon, each session being led by an expert in the topic.

The sessions are enjoyable and informative, giving participants a rich understanding of the North Pennines, its landscape, heritage and culture. “Know Your North Pennines” is run by “Pennine Horizons.  

The Know Your North Pennine Programme is funded by 'The Sustainable Development Programme' from the North Pennine AONB and administered by Killhope, the North of England Lead Mining Museum.
