Sacriston is a historic village situated just three miles north of the city of Durham. The area itself has been populated since the thirteenth century. The old farm and manor house once belonged to the Sacristan, a monk who held the office of Sacristan of the monastery at Durham cathedral. Nowadays, the village has a strong sense of community and has a new community centre which boasts a wide range of fun activities for all age groups. There are a large number of amenities in this quaint village including a Tesco express, barbers, off-licences, plenty of takeaways and newsagents
There are many leisure options close by. Sacriston Broom House Farm and Forest Adventure is an ideal spot for families and has stunning views over the countryside farm and forest as well as many fun activities for all ages to enjoy. Holmside Park also has over 50,000ft of indoor play available ranging from a giant inflatable obstacle course to archery. For a spot of culture, Crook Hall and Gardens has a selection of beautiful gardens including the Secret Walled Garden and the Shakespeare Garden. Kids will also love the fun, yet challenging cotoneaster meadow maze.
