Its estate spans hundreds of acres. Its buildings are centuries old.

A Café, Bakery, Pizzeria, and More – All Under One Roof
At its core, Claypath is about real food made with care. The café is known for its smooth speciality coffees, homemade cakes, and welcoming atmosphere. It’s a local favourite for brunch in Durham, or a quick bite between university lectures or work meetings.
But there’s more to Claypath than great coffee.
On Friday evenings the space transforms into one of the best places for sourdough pizza in Durham. Claypath’s pizzas are handmade, topped with the freshest ingredients, and cooked to perfection. It’s not just pizza – it’s pizza night, done right.
