It was a cold but sunny day on Sunday when we decided to visit this quaint town, situated on the River Wear.
Walking along the river, we made our way up to visit the famous Durham Cathedral, as featured in the Harry Potter films.
The Cathedral is spectacular both inside and out, so it’s not hard to see why it’s featured in movies and is a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site. Unfortunately no photography is allowed inside, but nothing beats directly experiencing the grand cathedral itself, and we both highly recommend a visit if you are ever in the North East of England.
After visiting the Cathedral and the surrounding grounds, we wondered down the cobbled Durham streets checking out the little stores and doing some shopping at the gorgeous Jack Wills store.
A late lunch ensued and we found a neat spot overlooking the River Wear in the Coach and Eight pub by the cobbled bridge.
Afterwards, browsing at some local second-hand book stores, was the perfect way to end a Sunday in Durham.
