Make Durham yours
Small city. Big university life.
Durham has been described as "a perfect little city".
A spectacular castle and a cathedral.
The River Wear and riverside walks.
Independent cafés, restaurants and pubs.
Beautiful parks and green spaces.
Historic streets and hidden corners.
And a university community at the heart of it all.
With the university and city life both within easy walking distance, Durham makes it easy to move between lectures, friends and everything else that makes up university life.
It’s beautiful, friendly and easy to get to know. And before long, it can start to feel like your own.
Some cities are made for getting lost in. Durham is made for discovering.
Beautiful, lively and full of character, Durham brings together a spectacular castle and cathedral, winding streets, the River Wear, independent places to eat and a university that is woven into the city itself. There’s always something happening, somewhere to explore or another favourite place to discover.
It’s not just breathtaking views and riverside walks though - theatre, comedy, cinema, galleries and a packed year-round calendar of city events means you should never run out of adventures.
University on your doorstep. Durham at your feet.
Your room is just the beginning.
The first friend you make.
The first night out.
The first time you find your favourite coffee spot.
The day you finally feel like you know your way around.
The random Tuesday that somehow becomes a memory you never forget.
These are the moments that make university yours.
