About this crawl
A good collection of pubs compiled by Durham CAMRA. Beginning at the Bridge Hotel, visitors can explore Durham's riverside pub scene, with views of the historic city and its iconic cathedral. The Colpitts Hotel offers a traditional drinking experience, leading to the characterful Old Elm Tree, which has likely witnessed generations of Durham's social history. The Water House provides a contemporary contrast to the city's ancient architecture.

The Head of Steam brings a modern railway-themed atmosphere, while the Market Tavern and Bishops' Mill continue the journey through Durham's diverse pub culture. The historic Half Moon Inn and Victoria Inn complete the crawl, each venue telling a different story of this remarkable city.

From riverside views to ancient traditions, these pubs capture the essence of Durham - a place where medieval heritage and contemporary life blend seamlessly, all under the shadow of its magnificent cathedral and prestigious university.
