Ushaw Historic House, Chapels & Gardens
Ushaw Historic House, Woodland Road, Durham, County Durham, DH7 7DW
We're thrilled to take part in Heritage Open Days, offering free entry to our Historic House, Chapels, Gardens and Exhibitions on Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17 September 2025, from 10am to 4pm.
Every corner of Ushaw holds a surprise, ready to inspire and amaze. Wander through the stunning gardens and grounds, admire breathtaking architecture, and immerse yourself in centuries of art, history, and heritage.
One of Britain’s best places to see Gothic Revival, Georgian and Victorian architecture, much of the splendid design and craftsmanship on show at Ushaw is the work of Augustus Pugin – architect for the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, his sons and grandsons.
Guided tours will be available, more information coming soon.
