What to see by car: Middlesbrough

Captain Cook's Birthplace Museum in Marton showcases the life and voyages of the 18th century explorer Captain James Cook. It is located in the picturesque landscaped grounds of Stewart Park, very close to Cook's birthplace. A unique aspect attraction is the 'Endeavour shuttle', which takes visitors back to Cook's time to find out, for example, how the ship was provisioned for 100 men for three years.

For those exploring the area by car, should take a drive across the Newport Bridge, which was opened in 1934. It was the first vertical lift bridge in Britain, with the central section capable of being raised to allow ships to pass beneath. There are panels on the railings approaching the bridge that explain the history and mechanics of the bridge.

Newham Grange Leisure Farm, in Coulby Newham, has been a working farm since the 17th century and is a great day out for the whole family. Here visitors can experience a working farm, visit with cattle, pigs, horses and other farm animals, as well as visit the Agricultural Museum and a 19th century veterinary surgery.
