To borrow the quote of the legendary Abraham Lincoln who said “And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.”- Birthdays are indeed times to rejoice. Leave nothing to chance and make sure that you enjoy heavenly holidays year after year. Durham, nestled along the banks of the River Wear is an enchanting party destination with the right mix of every essential ingredient from architectural monuments to the stunning cathedral and Norman castle that silhouette its horizon, to pleasant walkways and meandering cobbled streets , which wrap up the most memorable birthday gift of all times. The museums of the Josephine and John Bowes and impressive castles that tip toed into the prestigious UNESCO heritage list of monuments are the other essential stop overs.
It is a pleasant city with a charming populace who never misses a chance to share a joke by the crackling log fire or on a stroll along the leaf strewn allays. Durham has many restaurants and hotels that live up to all your expectations. Splurge yourselves in a variety of lip smacking delicacies including Italian, French, Indian or Thai apart from the many cafes, bistros, and pubs that serve you the freshest local dishes.
Pamper your guests with an extensive spread of a sumptuous menu well complemented by some of the best wines in town. Whip up some fun with a treasure hunt game or a murder mystery, which would take you around this historical town as well. If you want something more exhilarating, then you can select from paragliding, surfing, hang gliding, micro lighting, mountain biking or karting.
