Bill Bryson called it ‘a perfect little city’ and
Condé Nast’s Traveller magazine readers voted it the ‘Best city in the UK’
now Durham and Durham Cathedral warmly await your visit to receive another seal of approval.
A captivating city with winding cobbled streets and
a prominent peninsula crowned with the dramatic Durham Cathedral and Castle
World Heritage Site – one of the most stunning city panoramas in Europe. Durham
is a pleasure to explore and one of the finest cultural and historic
destinations in the UK.
This quintessential old English city is home to the
world famous Durham University; Durham has a wonderful timeless quality with
rowing on the Wear and relaxing riverside walks, and yet buzzes with a vibrant
contemporary culture with superb cafés, artisan workshops, boutiques, galleries
and museums. Durham is easily accessible by road, rail and Durham Tees Valley
airport is on its doorstep.
There’s plenty to see and do; watch the world go by
in one of the city centre cafés, shop for gourmet treats, locally produced food
or original crafts in an array of shops and markets. Enjoy a moment of
reflection in the awe-inspiring Durham Cathedral, find city-centre calm at
Crook Hall and Gardens or explore the treasures of Durham University’s Oriental
Museum. You can enjoy your stay in one of Durham hotels, bed and breakfast
Durham or holiday cottages in the heart of Durham.
Days in Durham are a hard act to follow, but we
like to think our evenings are also up to the mark. Spellbinding theatre to
side-splitting comedy, intimate restaurants to chic café-bars, action films to
art house cinema – Durham City has entertainment galore.
The Durham Dales and Vale of Durham are diverse
landscapes, dotted with market towns and picturesque villages. The Durham Dales
and North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are home to
moorland and forest, whilst the stunning Durham Coast begs to be explored. With its iconic Durham Cathedral and Castle
World Heritage Site - Durham City is the jewel in the crown of an
extraordinary county.
