Wharton Park

Beautiful park with plenty to see and do. Free toilets and a nice cafe in the same block. Affordable car parking and a great play area. Personal highlights are the view point next to the carved statue of Mr. Wharton himself and the community garden area where they even have home grown plants you can take away after a donation. Lovely at all times of the year.

Beautiful park! Couple little play areas for kids there's also a cafe, Nice views over Durham.

Lovely park for all ages plenty for kids to amuse themselves nice views of cathedral and castle good little cafe enjoyable

A really nice park on north side of Durham city centre. Up a hill so you get great views across the city. Well maintained and clean and tidy. Cafe open during the day. A community garden with great planting and herbs etc. Playground for children.

Lovely park for families and kids. Not the most accessible due to steps and hills but nevertheless a lovely place. Plenty of activities, lovely views of the cathedral and a number of picnic tables.

Very nice park. Especially it's beautiful in the autumn. There is a little playground and a cafe as well. Only thing is that the cafe doesn't allow to bring your own food, but that's ok. It is plenty of choice to have something to eat. 👍

A great viewpoint of the City Of Durham from inside Wharton Park.

Just a short walk up from the Northbound side of the train station, and you get terrific views of the city, especially the beautiful cathedral.

Great for trainspotting too if you're into that!

A really nice safe place for the children, be prepared for lots of steep walks, up & down.
Stunning views across Durham City if you just want to sit and relax.
