Rejseplan
I hjertet af Durhams historiske gamle bydel vil din guide fortælle historien om Lord Londonderry, hvis statue dominerer landskabet, og Durhams minearv.
Beliggende på den snoede River Wear, over de tidligere fangehuller i Durham, danner Elvet Bridge scenen for historien om Jimmy Allen, People's Piper, som fik en natklub opkaldt efter sig.
Hjem til det fantastiske Hotel Indigo og Prison Green, hvor dømte blev henrettet i Durham, er den historiske gade Old Elvet, hvor rejsende vil høre om Storbritanniens første (og mest berygtede) kvindelige seriemorder.
Durhams imponerende normanniske slot, som er en del af det berømte UNESCOs verdensarvssted, er nu hjemsted for studerende, men angiveligt også for to mystiske spøgelser...
Durhams vartegn på UNESCOs verdensarvsliste er placeret overfor slottet. Katedralen ER Durhams skyline, og din guide vil fortælle dig om en ejendommelig helgen, som er begravet der, og som fik et kollegium opkaldt efter sig.
Med en udsigt, der engang var malet af ingen ringere end William Turner selv, fører Prebends Bridge de rejsende til et iøjnefaldende objekt, som kunne have inspireret en vis C.S. Lewis en kold vinter...
Langs bredden af floden Wear blev en berømt lokal legende spundet, der involverede en ridder, en drage, en heks og en forbandelse. Her kan rejsende nyde en af postkortudsigterne over Durham Cathedral og Old Corn Mill ved floden.
Førende op til Silver Street vil din guide fortælle historien om Durhams egen Dick Whittington og hans skinnende formue. Bare pas på mågerne!

Brilliant tour, excellent story telling way of getting to know Durham. Captivating & interesting. Tom is very knowledgeable
Great guide. Knowledgeable about Durham. hilly, so be prepared to walk. Guide was humorous and interesting.
Tom was a fantastic guide. He was engaging, funny and extremely knowledgeable. He always had answers to our questions and encouraging our participation in the tour.
Tom is such an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Enjoyed hearing about the history and folklore of Durham, as first time visitors. Enjoyed crossing the Ove Arup bridge, taking a different route and perspective we would never have discovered on our short trip. We were puzzled as to why our fellow Scots kept trying to take the Castle and Durham over the centuries until unification....definitely would have been in my 'too hard' box! Highly recommend this tour and worth way more than £11 per person 😊
Really enjoyed the walk around Durham on what was a lovely sunny day. Our guide was a really friendly person who was very knowledgeable and had a good store of interesting (from a historical and character point of view) and at times amusing stories. A great way to spend 90 mins in Durham
