The National Museum of the Royal Navy in Hartlepool offers an immersive experience into Britain's naval history. Central to the museum is the HMS Trincomalee, a meticulously restored Royal Navy frigate built in 1817 in Bombay, India. As the oldest warship afloat in the UK, the Trincomalee provides visitors with a tangible connection to the Age of Sail. The museum recreates an 18th-century seaport, complete with period shops, houses, and exhibits that depict life during the time of Nelson and Trafalgar. Interactive displays, costumed guides, and hands-on activities make it a captivating destination for all ages.

Located within the Hartlepool Maritime Experience, the Museum of Hartlepool chronicles the town's rich history from prehistoric times to the present day. Exhibits showcase the evolution of Hartlepool, highlighting its significance in shipbuilding, fishing, and maritime trade. Notable artifacts include a 'sea monster' or merman, a real coble boat, and the first gas-illuminated lighthouse. The museum also delves into local legends, such as the famed Monkey Legend, offering insights into the town's unique cultural heritage.

Perched on the ancient headland, St Hilda's Church is a beacon of Hartlepool's spiritual and architectural legacy. Dating back to the early 12th century, with significant additions from the 13th century, the church stands as a testament to early English Gothic architecture. Visitors can admire features like the mid-12th-century vegetal capitals adorning the western doorway and the 13th-century Galilee Chapel adjacent to the western side of the tower. The church's visitor center offers interactive displays and short films detailing the rich history of the Headland, encapsulating stories about the monastery and the de Brus family, known to have used the church as a funerary chapel.

The Heugh Battery Museum offers a unique glimpse into coastal defense history. As the only British gun battery to have fired its guns in anger during the First World War, the museum provides an authentic experience of a faithfully restored 19th-century coastal defense battery. Visitors can explore the battery's role during the Bombardment of the Hartlepools and delve into the broader history of coastal defenses.

Spanning 100 acres on the western edge of Hartlepool, Summerhill Country Park is both a hub for outdoor activities and a Local Nature Reserve.

Cyclists can benefit from the Hartlepool Cycle Clinic, offering free repair services and bike maintenance lessons, while there's a free-to-use BMX track. Climbers have eight different boulders to tackle, and leisurely visitors can enjoy outdoor art installations and an authentic replica of an Iron Age roundhouse. The reserve also features two ponds with viewing platforms, and a café in the visitor center provides a cozy spot to relax.

Just a short distance from Hartlepool, Seaton Carew is a traditional seaside resort boasting a vast North Sea beach.
