Durham Cathedral

After a good but slow trip up yesterday due to roadworks we arrive safely at Durham Rowing Club. We have a spot right alongside the river.
We woke to a flurry of activity at the club with boats of all sizes being lowered in to the water.
After breakfast we walked into town centre along the river. We visited the two markets both inside and outside and bought a slab of Lemon Cake for later.
We then headed up to the cathedral, wow it's another huge beautiful building that keeps you wondering how they managed to build such magnificent buildings all those years ago.
Durham is a really nice interesting city dominated by a University presence contributing to a vibrant centre with bars and restaurants and many independent shops, we like it very much. So..... grim rating of zero!
After the obligatory tea/coffee and cake we head back to the van to watch the Baggies on the TV, Now we are really talking grim!!! shame it wasn't the result we wanted. Never mind the bars open in the van and the sun's shining.Lue lisää
