Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in County Durham
County Durham is a Northeast England county bordering Tyne and Wear, Northumberland, Yorkshire and Cumbria. Its historic boundaries stretch between the rivers Tyne and Tees and encompass high, windswept moors, wooded valleys and peaceful farmland in which a delightful range of rural holiday cottages will catch your attention. The county town of Durham is a maze of ancient cobbled streets packed with independent businesses best explored by foot. Visit the magnificent cathedral and castle before wandering along the riverside. 13th-century Crook Hall and Gardens and the University Botanic Garden are well worth visiting.
