Durham is a city you must visit during your holiday at Edge Knoll Farm. A World Heritage Site with its Norman cathedral and castle, rich history as the capital town of County Durham and the last resting place of Cuthbert, a founder of Christianity in Britain. Add to all that the University of Durham...

Both cottages are now pet friendly. We welcome up to two well behaved dogs in each cottage. Why not enjoy a holiday with friends and their pets. The cottages are next door to each other and although access can be separate the courtyard is an ideal place for you and your pets to mingle before going on one of the many walks next to the cottages.

William Morras, Durham Farmboy to House of Representatives, a Pioneer's Tale.
To add to the History of County Durham in History Month something should be said about the people who left our County to seek a better life elsewhere in the world. One such was William Morras.
William Morras left Edge Knoll Farm near Hamsterley in the Durham Dales in 1849 aged 21. He later married a girl from Bishop Auckland, Elizabeth Jacques in 1852.
Details of William Morras' travels are documented in the Durham Archives.
Eventually he bought land near Illyria in Fayette County Iowa and after many hardships including agricultural depressions, hard winters and hot summers he carved out, from virgin land, a successful farm and became a highly respected member of the Fayette community. So much so that he moved up the political ladder from Town Clerk to eventually becoming Member of the House of Representatives for Illyria.
Not bad for a Durham Farm Lad.
