St Giles’ Church is not
accessible from the main road up Gilesgate – you need to take the narrow lane
to the left of the main Gilesgate road on the way up the hill (also called
Gilesgate).
The easiest way to drive
there is take A690 into Durham, at the Gilesgate roundabout take St Hild’s Lane
(signposted Hild and Bede College) – this is the second turning from the A690,
then turn left immediately up the lane. The church is on the left where the
hill levels out. It is set back from the road but the war memorial is next to
the lane. There is also on street parking nearby (no charge).
