Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Lanchester
Lanchester is a small village in County Durham, eight miles west of the city of Durham. With its graceful church, cosy pubs and family-run shops, it is an excellent choice for visitors looking for an authentic life experience in rural County Durham. There are many fascinating historical sites in and around Lanchester. Just outside the village, the foundations of a Roman fort cover almost six acres of land. Stones from the fort were used to build All Saints’ Church, which features a magnificent Roman altar and dates back to the 12th century. The unspoiled countryside surrounding Lanchester is crisscrossed by footpaths and bridleways where walking, wildlife-watching and horse-riding are popular. One of the prettiest routes starts in the village and follows a disused railway track through the valley of Smallhope Burn to the Roman road and fort with breathtaking views of County Durham’s woods, hills and fields.
