Location

Situated atop Windmill Hill, St Aidan's College boasts stunning views over the historic city of Durham. Located a short distance from the University's central facilities and departments, you'll find yourself saturated in nature and serenity as a thriving woodland borders our campus.

St Aidan's College is within short walking distance of sites such as the Botanic Gardens, The Story at Mount Oswald, and Low Burnhall Woodland Trust - as well as key department buildings like the Department of Engineering, The Teaching & Learning Centre, and the Bill Bryson Library.

We are also situated closely to South Road, a main bus route which can take you into the city to get any essentials, attend lectures further afield, or spend time with friends. You can also study in our very own College Library, enjoying the panoramic view of Durham Cathedral whilst studying.

St Aidan's is truly a place for students to simultaneously escape from the bustling business of University life whilst benefitting from the College's proximity to crucial departmental buildings.
