Whether it is in the countryside, on the coastline or in the historic City of Durham, the county of Durham has a wealth of sights and activities to offer its visitors.

Durham city is known for its Cathedral, University and ancient and quirky architecture. It is relatively small so is easy to navigate on foot (although one or two hills to the best bits!) The Cathedral, Castle, University, shops and riverside can combine to make an excellent day trip from The Old Paper Mill or The Town House.
