Hartlepool’s Maritime Experience is the North East’s premier maritime attraction. Step back in time and visit a superb recreation of an 18th Century seaport including HMS Trincomalee, the oldest warship afloat in the UK. The historic quayside, children’s adventure centre, costumed guides, the Museum of Hartlepool, and so much more makes a great day for all ages. Lots of free parking, a coffee shop and good disabled access. Just a few minutes drive from the hotel. Discount vouchers can be offered to residents.
