St Chad's College

St Chad's College is set on a dramatic site in the shadow of Durham Cathedral. Beyond the gardens, the land falls away into the wooded gorge of the River Wear which flows round this high peninsula, once the citadel of the Prince Bishops.

The College fronts onto North Bailey, a medieval street that traces the spine of the peninsula southwards from the Market Place to Prebends Bridge.

Our central location makes St Chad's the ideal base for exploring the city and surrounding countryside. Attractions within easy driving distance include the Bowes Museum, Hadrian's Wall and the North Yorkshire Moors.

Accommodation is situated in one of our historic houses which are far older than their Georgian frontages suggest. Rooms are tastefully decorated; many rooms are en suite or have private facilities. Available university vacations - dates from college.

Breakfast is served in the college dining-hall. A choice of English or Continental breakfast is always available.

Tea and coffee-making facilities. Rooms contain original features. Gardens overlook the River Wear. Bamburgh, Alnwick and Lindisfarne easily accessible by car. Visit Holy Island and the beautiful Northumbrian Coast.
