The character of Durham
Saddler Street and the approach to Palace Green are largely pedestrian, and the peninsula's few vehicle routes are narrow, cobbled and one-way in places. Framwellgate Bridge and Elvet Bridge carry most through-traffic around the loop, and both slow badly on college move-in weekends. Cars typically hold in the Market Place area or a college car park, with the final approach made on foot when the address sits inside the pedestrian zone.
- The peninsula around the cathedral is largely pedestrian; cars hold at the Market Place or a college car park.
- Graduation weeks close Palace Green and the Bailey to vehicles; we agree an alternative point in advance.
- Framwellgate and Elvet bridges are the two vehicle routes around the loop and both narrow at peak times.
- College events run late; the chauffeur waits nearby rather than at the college gate.
