Good location to explore from
I would have given full marks for every category if not for the fact that Durham Grange is a site which really demands you travel from it using your own transport. There is a park and ride on the other side of the motorway but unfortunately there is no pedestrian friendly way to walk into Durham and no bus stop outside the site. Otherwise it has some of the most friendly, helpful wardens I have ever come across. It has a children's playground and is very open and flat so safe for kids to ride their bikes and scooters on site. The facilities are immaculate but could do with an extra shower or two, there were queues on two days around 8-8.30am. Durham is a stunning city with a UNESCO world heritage cathedral and there are many other fantastic places to visit, all within a half hour drive, ranging from coast to countryside.
