Days Out Durham & Things To Do North East UK

Durham lies in the north east of England, lying between rivers Tyne and Tees. The county borders Yorkshire and Tyne & Wear, as well as the Pennines. Durham's official title is County Durham, and is the only English county to have this form.

The landscapes of Durham are beautiful and varied - the remote and sparsely populated moorlands of the Pennines contrasting with the highly urbanised coastal areas that were once dominated by the coal mining industry.
