Why buy a new home in County Durham?
A largely rural county with one of the lowest population densities in the country, our new builds in County Durham are popular with those looking for plenty of green spaces to choose from. Sitting at the heart of the North East, County Durham is home to some of the most remote and unspoilt countryside in England, with nationally recognised dark skies that are ideal for stargazing.
Today, County Durham is focused on delivering green technology, innovative business and manufacturing, high-tech opportunities and a growing heritage, culture, and visitor economy.
What are the best things to do in County Durham?
You’ll find a variety of things to do in County Durham to suit a range of different interests. The Durham Cathedral in Durham city centre remains a key landmark, recognised globally for its architecture and its role as a filming site for the Harry Potter film franchise.
But you’ll find more to the county than its famous filming locations. If you enjoy the fresh air, you’ll have your pick of green spaces, including Coxhoe Park, Hardwick Park, and Wharton Park. And, when you’re looking for even more outdoor adventure, the North Pennines provide miles of cycling and hiking trails through some of the most striking landscapes in the country.
There’s also the popular High Force Waterfall, one of the most powerful sights in England located in the heart of the Durham Dales, which drops 21 meters into a plunge pool. Here, the woodland walk down to the base is great for little explorers too, as you can even follow the “Carrot Patch” Easter trail in Spring, or use their app to spot woodland sculptures like the giant caterpillar.
What are the transport links like in Durham?
Transport links in County Durham simplified travel across the region for professional or personal reasons.
