Durham Amateur Rowing Club
Durham Amateur Rowing Club
Durham Amateur Rowing Club (DARC), founded in 1860, is based at City Boathouse on Green Lane, Old Elvet, in Durham City.
The club sits on a scenic bend in the River Wear opposite Pelaw Woods, with roughly two kilometres of navigable water winding past wooded banks and historic bridges through the heart of Durham.
The club operates a small caravan and motorhome site at the same boathouse location. Listed as a Caravan and Motorhome Club certificated location, the site covers approximately 0. 25 acres and offers 16-amp electric hookups.
It is a members-only facility under that scheme. The boathouse café serves food during the day, and a licensed bar is also available on site.
