Review:
Located less than a mile from downtown Durham city, Old Durham Gardens is a 350 year old walled garden with a series of terraces that run down to a restored orchard. It is believed that the garden was walled towards the end of 18th century, when the orchard was planted as well. The garden can be reached through several pleasant riverside or woodland trails through Pelaw Woods. So close to the city, gardens are magical oasis with so much history, constantly restored and maintained by Durham County Council and the Friends of Old Durham Gardens. The Gardens are open every Thursday throughout the year, and every Sunday during the summer.
