Wharton Park Heritage Centre & Café

Our first visit here since the total makeover of Wharton Park. Wow! It's now a beautiful place to relax and wander around. We had our 4 Yr lod granddaughter with us and she loved it. There's play areas for the kids, info for the older folk regarding the history of the park. Fantastic views of Durham, it's Cathedral and Castle. There's parking and a lovely cafe. Perfect for a couple of hours relaxing. We recommend a visit.

This cafe is based in the park and provides an intimate venue. There are WCs on the premises and it's wheelchair accessible.

A nice, clean, and convenient cafe after a walk round the grounds. The park is a nice place to be and is well kept, it is a little hidden gem in a lovely location.

Had a lovely stroll around the park today with my Mum. We had lunch sitting outside the Heritage Centre, the tea and toasties were lovely. Even though Mum is in her 70's, we had a good time using the outdoor gym equipment! The cafe staff, park keepers and the community garden volunteers were all really friendly. We spent two enjoyable hours here. When the renovations are finished on the cathedral the views will be spectacular.

This is newly renovated. You can sit inside and have a coffee whilst the kids play in the play park which is directly next to it and you can see them the whole time through the windows. They usually have craft activities on in another room when we visit.
