St John's is located at the heart of the ancient city of Durham, opposite the cathedral and within the Castle Bailey wall in an area now designated a World Heritage Site. It is one of the oldest colleges in Durham.
Consisting of a row of inter-linked Georgian houses perched between the cathedral and the River Wear, St John's is a maze of corridors and idiosyncratic rooms overlooking the river valley. Former occupants include the widow of Dean Whittingham, translator of the Geneva Bible (quoted by Shakespeare), and the Bowes-Lyon and Eden families. A regular visitor was Alice Liddell - the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
Family rooms available - accommodating families of 3 or 4.
