Durham
Here are some photos from the day Amanda and I went to Durham...
Durham Castle and Cathedral on the hill...
Road up the hill. See the cathedral tower in the background...
Cathedral internal courtyard... another Harry Potter site...
Harry Potter fans should recognise this too...
A view from 2/3 of the way up the cathedral tower. That's all of the 300+ spiral steps we could manage before we decided reaching the top wasn't worth killing ourselves for!
Durham Castle ... now a university! How would you like to study here?! Our tour guide is doing her PhD in Medieval History. I want to be her!
Back down the road, souvenir shopping in hand...
That's it! Tune in another day for further installments. :)
