We may not be able to welcome you to Durham at the moment, but we can bring Durham’s great outdoors to you at home, by sharing some of our favourite wintery Instagram snaps with you. 

2021 got off to a wonderful wintery start, with heavy snow fall transforming the county into a beautiful winter wonderland. We hope these beautiful wintery #instasnaps captured across the county recently and during winters past, gives you the chills and provides inspiration for your future visit to Durham.

Did you know Raby Castle's 200 acre Deer Park is home to hundreds of Red and Fallow Deer? 

The Bowes Museum

The Bowes Museum is a real hidden treasure of the Durham Dales. Found in the market town of Barnard Castle, this beautiful building and grounds is just as impressive on the outside, as the collections it houses inside. 

 
Winter Walks 

Grab those walking boots, wrap up warm and head out into the Durham Dales. Winter walks in Durham's great outdoors guarantee fantastic views like this beautiful view captured at Waskerley Reservoir.
