Durham

A few weeks ago it was time to renew my passport, and, after being given the option of Liverpool or Durham, I chose Durham. I had heard it was worth a visit, and I just hoped that, by then, we would finally have seen the last of the bloody snow.

We had a cold, sunny day, and spent it (between going to the passport office) looking round the excellent market, the shops and walking along the riverside.

Durham has one of the UK's most picturesque cathedrals, and next time we plan to see more of the Cathedral and Castle area, and also to visit in the summer when the days are longer.
