Donated by the Bishop of Durham to the newly-founded university of the mid 19th century, Great High Wood [54 45 36 N, 1 34 21 W] has been gradually encroached upon by university buildings but is still a calm area of hilly deciduous woodland just to the south of the city.
The Highgate development of flats and houses was completed in 2004 but could easily be mistaken for long-established part of Durham city. Its design has won from praise from CABE and the fiercely-protective City of Durham Trust amongst others.
