On a week's holiday in Newcastle Upon Tyne my twin brother Stephen and I decided to jump the train down to Durham and check out this pretty town and we weren't disappointed.
The two major tourist sites are Durham Castle and Durham Cathedral but there's so much more ,walking along the riverfront and you can view some amazing buildings, there's also pretty and ancient bridges that cross the River Wear, add to this the amazing amount of pubs, bars and restaurants and you have a great town to explore.

Walking up the streets of the old town of Durham to the Palace Green, the site of Durham Cathedral, the Bishop's Castle, the Cathedral Library and other historic buildings is an experience in itself. The winding, hilly streets prepare you for the sight of the great Gothic cathedral.But go inside - and if you can join a guide tour of the cathedral. Led by an enthusiastic, knowledgeable volunteer, this is the best way to appreciate the architecture and history of the building.
