TRANSPORT:

Alington House is in the university / cathedral area of Durham, on the peninsula, shortly before Hatfield College, which is also on North Bailey. It is about 15 minutes’ walk from the railway station (from where the cathedral is clearly visible): go down North Road to Framwellgate Bridge, then left up Silver Street and right up Saddler Street, which becomes North Bailey. Car parking is not easily possible on the peninsula, but there are car parks on the North Road side of Framwellgate Bridge.
