Why not give yourself a treat with a trip to Herndon Hills Farm, one of the family attractions located 6.8 mi (11 km) from central Durham. Let yourself be amazed at the cathedral in the area— your cultural tour starts here. It's also full of great shops and restaurants, so you can spend the afternoon having a wander. If you'd also like to explore some of the parks in Durham, head to Sarah P. Duke Gardens and Forest Hills Park.
