What Is Know Your North Pennines?
“Know Your North Pennines” is a ground-breaking training programme for people who live and work in the North Pennines.
The programme celebrates everything that makes the North Pennines special, including the area’s geology, heritage, culture and natural history.
“Know Your North Pennines” is for anyone who works with visitors to the area, whether in hospitality and the service industry, tourist information centres, visitor attractions or as guides.
This innovative training programme was designed by Pennine Horizons, an informal cluster of local businesses, and the University of Sunderland to raise the cultural awareness of this region, its visitor attractions, its heritage and natural history. It is supported by the Centre of Vocational Excellence at Northumberland College.
