Enjoy Durham Responsibly

Durham is blessed with beautiful countryside and coast, wide open spaces, and many miles of walking and cycling routes for you to enjoy.

We are inviting everyone to #LoveDurham safely and follow the countryside code when exploring Durham’s great outdoors. 

Certain outdoor locations may be busier than others, so why not consider visiting another part of county or at a different time of day? Durham has plenty of hidden gems waiting to be discovered. 

By enjoying our county responsibly you can help to preserve its natural beauty and cultural heritage for future generations.

The Countryside Code provides guidance on how to enjoy parks and waterways, coast and countryside responsibly, by showing respect, protecting the environment, and enjoying the outdoors.
