History

Collingwood opened its doors in 1973 and was set up as Durham’s first mixed college. It also saw itself, from the very beginning, as very informal – it didn’t have gowns or graces, and relations between students and staff were always very warm.

In 1992, Collingwood doubled its size by building a series of new wings with spacious ensuite rooms .

Food & beverage

The rates include breakfast served between 8am and 9am in the College Dining Hall.

 

Grounds & Gardens

The College grounds have a meadow, a nature rich pond, an all-weather tennis court and a 3G floodlit sports pitch.

Guests can also relax in the beautiful surrounding woodland and adjacent Botanic Gardens or take a stroll down the hill and along the banks of the River Wear into the heart of Durham City.

Other facilities

Wi-fi access is available throughout the College.

Collingwood College is a 5-minute taxi ride (about £7.50) from Durham Station. All the taxi drivers know the college, so you won't need to give them directions. Alternatively, if you're carrying light luggage, the walk from the station through town is picturesque and will take about 30 minutes.
