Woke up to a beautiful crisp morning, so we rounded up the clan (well; me, Jo, Chloe and the 4-legged ones) and took a walk into Durham. It’s closer than I was expecting, and lead to some great rolling countryside, especially considering we barely left concrete filled civilisation.
Route on the way into Durham:

This was the first view we glimpsed of Durham Cathedral. Unfortunately I only had my phone on me so picture quality isn’t great, for those that can’t make it out, you’re looking for the two blocky shapes in the centre.

Rolling greenery: 
And first sighting of the River Wear:

After a brief rest for lunch in Durham Marketplace we headed back home, this time sticking to what can be considered civilisation.

And Back Again
All told, not a bad way to spend a quiet Sunday morning
