Durham is one of the most dramatic small cities in England — the cathedral and castle sit on a tight loop of the River Wear, visible for miles across the county. It sits at the heart of County Durham, with the A1(M) running close to the east, the A690 heading west toward Weardale and the North Pennines, and the A167 providing the old coaching road north toward Newcastle and south toward Darlington. It’s a natural stopping point for motorhomers travelling the length of England or using Durham as a base to explore the northeast.
