Where to Stay in Durham

Staying in the city centre offers easy access to Durham's historic landmarks, including Durham Cathedral and Durham Castle, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Hotels here cater to various budgets and preferences, making it a convenient choice for exploring the city's rich history and cultural attractions.

It’s also a good idea to opt for the city centre if you want to visit Durham for a night out. The city is a good base for an off-the-cuff weekend away with some great central bars and pubs to enjoy – quieter than Newcastle and York, but certainly not sleepy.

Booking accommodation near the River Wear provides picturesque views and the opportunity for scenic walks along the riverbanks. You'll find plenty of guesthouses in this area, perfect for those who enjoy riverside living and want to be close to nature.

For a quieter stay, you could consider booking accommodation in one of the nearby villages such as Shincliffe or Pity Me.

Located just a short drive or bus journey from Durham city centre, these villages offer a peaceful atmosphere with their charming countryside settings and traditional pubs. They’re good options if your trip is more about getting out and exploring the region on foot.

Insider Tips for Durham

  • Take a leisurely stroll along the River Wear and explore Durham's picturesque riverside. Enjoy views of the cathedral and castle from across the river, and discover hidden gems such as Prebends Bridge and Framwellgate Bridge. Pack a picnic and relax in one of the riverside parks, or hire a rowing boat or canoe to explore the river at your own pace.
  • Experience the beauty of choral music by attending Evensong at Durham Cathedral. This daily service, held in the late afternoon or early evening, features the cathedral choir singing traditional hymns and anthems in the stunning surroundings of the cathedral's nave. It's a peaceful and uplifting experience even if you aren’t particularly religious.
  • Escape the city and explore the natural beauty of the Durham Dales, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Take a scenic drive through the villages and countryside, stopping to admire stunning landscapes and ancient ruins along the way. Don't miss the chance to visit attractions like High Force Waterfall, Raby Castle, and the historic market town of Barnard Castle during your day trip.
