👍👍 A gorgeous bridge over River Wear that cuts turns the town into an island. If you walk across the main bridge in Durham, you can walk around early marked paths all the way around the outer edges of the island. Lovely vistas of the Durham Cathedral and Castle as well as Prebends Bridge. Definitely re...

👍👍 Party time inflatables were amazing from the second I contacted them. They were so friendly and helpful over the phone, done everything they said they were going to do and so easy to deal with (which I didn’t find with any other company I made enquiries with). Set up was so quick, and the items I bo...

👍 Lovely area to walk around. We parked in the free car park just off South Road. We done the circular walk and enjoyed getting down to the river. There was some litter in this area, looks like folk go there to enjoy a few tinnies and leave the leftovers. It was also a shame to see graffiti regarding...

It has undergone a beautiful renovation since then and is so much bigger with a lot of its heritage restored. Take a trip to the tower and see if you can convince your childre...

👍👍 We were there on Sunday, the staff on arrival were very helpful and friendly making us feel very welcome and checking in was easily completed. There is plenty of seating around by the various food areas, we never tried any but it did look good especially the ice creams. My daughter and her friend sa...

👍👍 Too many bad reviews lately for a great place to visit with the kids. I was here quite early on a Saturday morning for a party and fail to see how tables are "squashed" together. There's plenty of room between each table, but I would advise not to bring prams inside as that will make it squashed....

👍 Beautiful public nature reserve with several dirt paths all around it! Sadly paths & terrain are NOT suited for wheelchair lovers. Popular with lots of ( mostly responsible & lovely dog walkers), BUT sadly there's still lots of dog mess left on the tracks, as well as litter (usual beer cans etc),...
