Crook Hall and Gardens
Crook Hall and Gardens centres on a rare medieval manor house just a short walk from Durham Cathedral. The hall itself, parts of it dating to the 14th century, is ringed by a series of distinct gardens — a secret walled garden, a maze, an orchard and a moat pool — that unfold one into the next. Long associated with a white-lady legend, it is a pocket of green calm and old stories on the edge of a busy cathedral city.
