“The natural base for pilgrims completing any of the four Northern Saints Trails that converge on Durham Cathedral. Hotel Indigo sits in the heart of the city with the Cathedral just steps away, its interiors celebrating Durham's deep heritage - a fitting end point for a journey through centuries of faith and landscape.”

“An Arts and Crafts mansion tucked into the wooded gorge of Jesmond Dene, Newcastle's most unlikely natural escape. Individually designed rooms, an acclaimed restaurant, and a sense of seclusion that belies its city location make this one of the North East's most quietly distinguished hotels - a worthy journey's end for any trail arriving into Tyneside.”

“Conveniently positioned just south of Durham city on the A167, the Honest Lawyer is a practical and welcoming overnight stop for walkers on The Way of Life trail arriving into Durham from Gainford via Bishop Auckland. Comfortable rooms, hearty food, and easy access to the final trail miles into the city.”

“Sitting directly on The Way of Life route, The Manor House at West Auckland is an ideal mid-trail stop for walkers following St Cuthbert's path from Gainford through West Auckland and Bishop Auckland towards Durham. A historic hotel with 12th-century roots adds genuine resonance to the pilgrimage experience.”

“Part of The Auckland Project, Park Head Hotel sits at the heart of Bishop Auckland - a key waypoint on The Way of Life trail, where walkers pass Auckland Castle and the town's remarkable collection of Spanish and Mining art galleries before continuing north towards Durham Cathedral.”

“A welcoming inn on the edge of Durham City, close to the final approach into the Cathedral quarter. Comfortable, characterful and well-priced, the Kingslodge makes a natural base for walkers completing any of the routes that converge on Durham - with the city's historic centre just a short walk away.”
