Every one of its 2 places to visit is inside Durham’s municipal boundary. The mix takes in an art gallery and a museum.
What Durham is known for
Each has a page of its own: what it is, who runs it, the weather month by month and what else is near it.
Where each one is
The outermost point is Royal Heritage Museum - John Diefenbaker House, at 17 km.
The dashed line is Durham’s municipal boundary; orange marks its middle (where most people live). Numbers match the list below. © OpenStreetMap contributors · Statistics Canada 2021 outline

Every place to visit
The 2 inside Durham come first, best known first; then the places within 5 km, close and well known first. Provincial and city parks are on the Outdoors page instead.

Visiting Durham: the answers
Is there a Parks Canada property near Durham?
Our list has none in Durham or within 5 km of it.
How is this list made?
Places come from four open sources (OpenStreetMap, Wikidata, Statistics Canada’s ODCAF, the federal and Québec heritage registers), each site once. A building counts as a place to visit only with opening hours, a fee, a website, a heritage operator or a Wikipedia article; hotels, restaurants and tour firms are dropped. The town’s 2021 outline and 5 km around it set the reach.
Places to visit: Canada publishes no open tourism list, so this one is assembled from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL), Wikidata (CC0), Statistics Canada’s ODCAF museums and galleries (2020, Open Government Licence – Canada), the federal and Québec heritage registers and CPCAD’s national parks, and it reflects what mappers and editors have recorded. Forts, houses, lighthouses and churches count only with a sign that visitors are welcome. Places sit in each town’s 2021 census outline; visitor counts are Wikidata’s latest, with their year.
