Stayed during a storm and cold spell but clear sunny skies. This is a great site for exploring Durham with plenty to do in the City . The Catherdral and Castle tours are a must and good value for money and the surrounding countryside is spectacular.The facilities are excellent. There is a park and ride into Durham which is 10 minutes walk from the site there is a path over the A1 to it but becareful it's a busy road. The road noise is not a problem and only barely noticeable in the rush hour periods particularly if you choose a plot on the left side of the site, we were not at all disturbed by it. Helpful and very friendly staff with advice on hand.
