Google Visitor Review Score 4.6 stars
Don’t take our word for how genuinely super these gardens are. Here is what visitors to Crook Hall Gardens had to say:
“Crook Hall Gardens is a little gem hidden away close to the centre of Durham city. It’s a beautiful place to spend a couple of hours.
The gardens are very relaxing and lovely to stroll around.
There are some great spots for photographs, especially with the cathedral in the background.
The maze was great for young and old”
“The gardens are immaculately maintained, with a charming mix of formal planting, wildflower meadows, and secluded spots that invite quiet reflection.
Each area of the garden has its own unique character, from the romantic walled garden to the tranquil moat pool.”
“There is a gorgeous walled garden, an orchard with a nice shrub border and large pond, a veg patch, a hedge maze.
Lovely tranquil places to sit.”
