Steeped in history, Hartlepool was founded in the 7th century around the monastery of Hartlepool Abbey. The town expanded in the 19th century with the establishment of West Hartlepool, transformed by the creation of a new port and railway links that helped establish it as an important coal port and market town. Over the centuries, Hartlepool has been through times of prosperity and hardship, evolving into the vibrant town we see today.

Immerse yourself in the town's maritime heritage at the Historic Quay, a faithful reproduction of an 18th century seaport. For those interested in the area's natural history, the ancient post-glacial forest by the sea provides insight into the area's prehistoric roots. Highlights like the Seaton Carew beach, a favoured spot among locals and visitors, offer a taste of classic British seaside live. Regardless of when you visit, Hartlepool's combination of city life, history and coastal charm promises a memorable experience.

When to visit Hartlepool

The ideal time to visit Hartlepool for favourable weather is during the summer months, particularly July and August. These months are perfect for enjoying a family outing, strolling along the beach, or exploring the outdoor tourist spots. The temperatures are warm, and it's the least humid time of the year, making it comfortable for long walks in the town or by the seaside.

However, for those who prefer to beat the crowds, the months of February, March and April have the lowest chance of significant precipitation, offering good conditions for exploring the town's attractions. Whether you’re visiting in the height of summer or the freshness of spring, Hartlepool offers a wealth of enjoyment for all to experience.
