Heritage Open Days

Wander through a series of interlinking gardens, each with its own style and character, set against the backdrop of a Grade I listed medieval hall.

Visitors can discover a maze, a secret walled garden, an orchard, a wildlife-rich moat pool, tranquil seating areas and views of Durham city and cathedral.
