3About Durham
Durham perches on a dramatic horseshoe bend of the River Wear in County Durham's gentle hills. The A1(M) at Junction 62 provides the quickest access via the A690, whilst the A68 brings visitors from Scotland and the Dales. The medieval city centre's narrow streets make the park-and-ride sensible for tourists. With over 200 EV charging points scattered about, electric drivers are well catered for. The Norman cathedral and castle crown a rocky peninsula, creating one of Europe's most spectacular urban silhouettes.
