Ramside Hall Hotel & Golf Club, Durham, County Durham
Local Attractions
Ramside Hall is located in one of the most unspoilt and tranquil parts of Britain. Durham City has a rich heritage and can trace its history back 1000 years, it is regarded as the historic capital of North East England, an important centre for culture and learning and as an area of great natural beauty. The Durham of today is a compact city offering a wide range of facilities; much of the excellent shopping and restaurants is closed to traffic and co exists happily with the Victorian Indoor Market. Yet within minutes you can take a path down by the riverbanks and watch the rowers from one of the University teams overlooked by the impressively beautiful Durham Cathedral and Castle.
