Activities in Durham

Whether you enjoy a walk in the countryside or something more adrenaline-filled, Durham has it all. You can stride 40 miles of the Pennine Way, past unrivalled river views and England’s largest waterfall High Force. Our quiet country lanes offer cycling for all abilities and Hamsterley Forest provides some of the best off-road thrills in the area with a specially designed skills loop. Prefer 4 wheels to 2? Check out Deepdale Off Road for a thrilling 4 x 4 driving experience, or for 3 wheels, try North of England Trike Tours. Finally, our peaceful moorland, forests and bridleways are wonderful to explore on horseback, whether you bring your own pony or try your hand at one of our trekking centres.
