Durham; Monday, 31 May, 2021

I had a later breakfast than the previous mornings and then headed out from the hotel to go for a little walk along the river.

I didn’t have much time before I needed to checkout so I only walked as far as the Old Corn Mill, located on the opposite bank to the cathedral at the point where a weir crosses the river to another mill on the cathedral bank.

From here there are amazing views of the Cathedral and parts of the old city walls as they defend the high ground, the walls of the gorge that the river has carved through the landscape and in the distance the impressive Framwellgate.

After taking in the sites it was time to head back to the hotel, pack up my bags and head back to the station to take the train further south to Darlington.
