Description

Established in 2002, Hill Island is a literal translation of Dunholme, from which Durham is derived. It is part of Fowler's Yard Craft Workshops on the banks of the River Wear and can be reached by steps down from Silver Street. Nearly all production is sold through the pop-up bar, which operates at the brewery most Saturdays (see Facebook for details) including weekends coinciding with Durham events such as the Durham Fire & Ice Festival, and the Durham Miner's Gala.
