I had read Angels and Men and the sequels by Catherine Fox,...
I had read Angels and Men and the sequels by Catherine Fox, so had been eager to visit Durham for years. I do not recommend visiting the same week as university exams or graduation as the castle was not open to the public, however, our visit was still great. Try to arrive before 2 pm on a Saturday as that is the last tour at the Cathedral. Getting around Durham is not difficult but I suggest staying within half or 3/4 of a mile to the center of town. We had one great meal at Zizzi and another at the Cathedral itself which has a nice restaurant near its gift shop. We were intrigued by a restaurant called the Library but it was too crowded. The Shakespeare had also been recommended but was a little too busy.

Durham is a great little city with a vibrant nightlife.
Durham is a great little city with a vibrant nightlife. There are numerous theatres, bars and restaurants to tickle your fancy. During the day there is much to see and do from great shopping, riverside walks and beautiful architecture. Being a university town, the town centre is usually bustling. A must see in my book. Oh, Durham has the best fruit and veg shop in the world!

A lovely, characterful city with a fabulous cathedral!
A lovely, characterful city with a fabulous cathedral! The day I was there, the city was bursting with energy at the indoor market, in the town square where a proper group of bagpipers filled the air with legendary vibes, and in the shops and cafes. It took me hours to eventually get to the Cathedral up the hill because of all the chatting and shopping I did along the way, not because it was far. I will return to Durham one day for further exploration of all that Durham has to offer. It is definitely one of my new favorites!

I love this city;
I love this city; I've not only visited many times since I was a child but also I spent a year studying at the university. Durham is well served by trains and the station is an easy enough walk from the centre of town. The cathedral is one of the most beautiful I have ever been in. There are myriad cafes and restaurants (all good enough to take pot luck but I ate at The Cellar Door which was delicious, upmarket, 'chefie' food) and it is a good base from which to visit many places of interest. I am particularly fond of the open-air museum at Beamish and it is not too far to the Roman wall. Durham is, however, very hilly and they are steep!

Durham has the wonderful Cathedral, and no charge as with York minster. It is staffed by very informative people, and so much to see and enjoy. There is a super restaurant too. There is the Castle and the University Library. The streets have interesting shops as well as the usual larger stores. You can walk along the river to Crook Hall Gardens, worth a visit. There are lovely coffee shops and restaurants. The market square is lovely , there was a small market on Saturday, and there seemed to be impromtu singers and entertainers there. A great atmosphere and an old fashioned indoor market too. Lovely town, and then you are only 10 miles to the wonderful coast.
“Good-sized twin room for me and my son, staff very helpful in storing a ridiculous amount of luggage downstairs for us while we went about our business in Durham”
“Everything was amazing at Ramside Hall. I have stayed at many Hall Hotels and this is my favourite so far. The grounds were huge, the bedroom was clean and so comfortable. The women at the desk were helpful and friendly.”
“Very welcoming guest house, offering really excellent breakfast. Host kindly offered to drive me into Durham in the morning as the bus was not running on the bank holiday.”
“The staff were very welcoming. We had travelled for the cricket at Durham. This was convenient and well priced option. Breakfast was included in the price and for £45 the room was good value for money.”
