Durham Family Attractions

Whether you want to be outdoors and active, or steeped in history and heritage, you'll find plenty of family attractions in Durham.

For outdoors and active, try mountain biking in Hamsterley Forest or a stroll to High Force – England’s largest single drop waterfall.

Learn all about the life of a Roman soldier at Binchester Roman Fort or  try your hand at driving a digger at Diggerland. Or the younger ones might prefer the state of the art softplay area at  Ruff 'n' Tumble Adventure World in Newton Aycliffe.

Not to mention the family friendly farms such as Thorpe Farm at Greta Bridge and Hall Hill Farm near Lanchester.
