Official Visitor Guide
The Durham Pocket Guide is the official guide to the county. We are expecting a huge demand for information on days out, overnight stays and short breaks from visitors as well as residents, eager for new experiences.
The Pocket Guide is the ‘must-read’ publication for the area and features information on what to see, where to go, things to do and places to stay, eat and drink. Available from spring 2024, over 100,000 copies will be available from hundreds of outlets across Durham, North Yorkshire, Cumbria, Newcastle, Northumberland and key entry points such as motorway services and train stations. The guide is also mailed out to visitors upon request and available to download from thisisdurham.com, the official tourism website for the county.
