The district looms large with history. Within easy reach of the site is Ebchester and its Roman Museum. Also near is Derwentcote Blast Furnace which is a relic from the Industrial Revolution. On most summer weekends the Tanfield Railway steam locomotives are in operation. You can visit Causey Arch which is reputed to be the world's oldest railway bridge. Down the valley from Byreside is Gibside Chapel which is the mausoleum of the Bowes family.
