Description
Your stay in St Chad's gives you an atmospheric experience at the heart of historic Durham. The college buildings are old town houses stretching along the North Bailey overshadowed by the east wing of the superb cathedral.

Founded in 1904, St Chad's College is one of the oldest Colleges in the University of Durham.

St Chad's is remarkably situated at the very heart of medieval Durham, thirty metres from the magnificent Cathedral, not far from Durham Castle, and just a stone's throw from Durham's marketplace and historic streets.

Most of the College buildings, which line North Bailey, were formerly Georgian town houses, though the interiors have changed over the years. Beyond the back gardens, the land falls away into the wooded gorge of the River Wear which girds the high peninsula, once the citadel of the Prince Bishops and a symbol of Norman power.
