🎨 Durham is full of colour, if you know where to look. From the riverside in autumn to cobbled streets, historic buildings and hidden corners of campus, these colours capture the spirit of the places that make Durham unforgettable.

We've rounded up some of our favourite memories and funniest comments in the slides below.

πŸ’œ Durham Memories | On the Boats

We loved reading the stories shared on our recent Boat post, and Hilja's memory of a sunny afternoon after final exams particularly resonated with us.

From celebrations with friends to simple moments by the river, it's often the memories we least expect that stay with us long after we've left Durham.
