About Old Durham
The most northerly remains of a Romanised farmstead in the Roman Empire were excavated at Old Durham during 1940s. Old Durham’s 17th-century gardens became a popular attraction, which led to the opening of the Pineapple Inn to provide refreshments for local visitors. The gardens used to belong to a 17th century mansion belonging to the Heath family.
