Durham Cathedral

Durham Castle
Still used by Durham University, the castle’s thick walls and courtyard give the city center a lived-in, historic edge.
Durham Market Hall
Inside the glass-roofed hall, small traders and weekend shoppers keep the city’s everyday rhythm moving beneath one bright interior.
Wharton Park
Above the railway, this hillside park opens to broad city views and a simple bench stop between neighborhood streets.
Know the rhythm before you go.
Coxhoe is easiest with a little planning: which neighborhood to pick, when it’s quiet, and how to get around.
Plan for parking, not just a postcode
