Information about Teesside
Teesside is a vibrant urban area centred on the River Tees, encompassing Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Hartlepool and Redcar, a conurbation that wears its industrial heritage with increasing pride and confidence and has been quietly reinventing itself as a destination in its own right.
The area’s most famous son is Captain James Cook, the explorer and navigator who grew up in the villages on the edge of the North York Moors just to the south of the conurbation. Cook’s connections to this corner of England are celebrated throughout the area, and following his story provides a fascinating thread for visitors with an interest in exploration and maritime history.
Hartlepool is perhaps the most rewarding destination for visitors, with its excellent maritime experience centred on a restored historic quay and a collection of historic vessels that tells the story of life at sea in the nineteenth century with real authenticity and energy. The town has invested significantly in its waterfront and has a genuine pride in its seafaring past.
Middlesbrough itself has a boldness and a character that is distinctly its own. The Transporter Bridge, one of only a handful remaining in the world, is an extraordinary piece of industrial engineering and one of the most recognisable landmarks in the north east. The town’s MIMA gallery is one of the finest contemporary art galleries outside of London and consistently surprises first time visitors.
Whether you are tracing the story of Captain Cook, exploring Hartlepool’s maritime heritage or using Teesside as a base for the nearby North York Moors and Durham Dales, the area offers a genuine and unpretentious welcome to every visitor.
