West Rainton has an intriguing and ancient history; a place where direct ancestors of Her Majesty the Queen lived at one time. Located between Durham and Houghton-le-Spring, you’ll find plenty to do close by. A number of scenic walks can be accessed from West Rainton so the village is a great base for those looking for hiking and cycling holidays. Known as the ‘perfect little city’, Durham has the best mix of everything and it all blends seamlessly. It retains its mediaeval heritage but it also has a modern and vibrant twist. It boasts lush green landscapes but it also has busy cobbled streets with independent shops, bars and restaurants. Durham has plenty of history within its walls. One of the most spectacular historic sites is Durham Cathedral. Constructed between 1103 and 1133, this towering building is a shining example of Norman architecture. The cathedral is now the oldest surviving building with a stone vaulted ceiling of such a large scale.
