Durham has wonderful history and is a beautiful area.

3/5 - Okay

Rich in history. Easily done in one day. Quite a few empty stores. Per one of the locals “town is dying.”

5/5 - Excellent

Crook Hall and Gardens is lovely.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Wonderful manageable city. The Cathedral is a wonder of Romanesque architecture and the riverine setting and walks along the the embankment are tranquil and spectacular. The city is a bit hilly but that ads to its charm.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler
