Durham Travel Forum

Hi all. My wife and I will be in York in February of 2010 and then possibly on to Whitby for a couple of days. From there we are not sure. I am a big fan of all things Roman and would love to see Hadrian's Wall. My question is- Would this be a good time to visit the wall ( dead of winter ) or should I save this for another trip? If you think its a good time what city or town would you recommend staying in for 2 nights in order to catch this wonderful piece of world history?
Thanks in advance

I am traveling by train from Liverpool to Durham City Station Is it possible to get a convenient bus to drop me close to Ushaw College where I shall be attending a conference in September. I have limited walking ability.

Im from LA in california and im writing a book. Im interested in Durham being part of my plot. So is this a small city? Is it rural there? Country?

Is the Cathedral open for tours in December? What else should be on my 'must see' list. I heard I shouldn't bother with the castle - true?

I will be making a quick stop in Durham on my way from Edinburgh to York. Is there a place to store my luggage for the day?

Thanks

I'm planning a reunion here in the summer and as we are all coming from different locations wanted to suggest a good pub to meet in when we arrive.

Can anyone recommend a good traditional pub in the heart of durham (or somewhere that is easy to find) Many thanks Ruthy
