About
Diggerland Durham at Langley Park near Durham is one of four Diggerland UK locations where children (and adults) drive real construction-equipment-themed rides. JCB-shaped rollercoasters, dumper-truck cars, an excavator-arm-mounted 'Spindizzy' spinner and supervised drives in real diggers and dumpers under instructor guidance make it the most distinctive small-scale theme park concept in Britain. Pay-as-you-ride or all-day wristband. Sister parks in Devon, Kent and West Yorkshire.
