Durham Walk

Just a reminder and update on the Durham Walk on Sunday 5th February meeting 10am for setting off at 10:30am. Still meeting up down beside the old ice rink. Directions, from A1M junction 62 take the A690 towards Durham. after a couple of mile you will come to a roundabout. Take 3rd main exit signed Claypath. Down Claypath bank to traffic lights and turn right at lights down Providence Row. At bottom of Providence Row you can either park on the street which is free on Sundays or in Freeman's Place car park besides the old ice rink which is £1.20 on a Sunday.

On leaving the car park the walk will proceed over the foot bridge to the west/north side of the river and head upstream along Framwellgate Waterside towards the Millburngate Bridge and Framwellgate Bridge. Pass below these bridges along the river side still to Mill House where this picture was taken of the Cathedral and The Old Fulling Mill.

From here along to Prebands Bridge which we pass by and keep on walking until we reach St Oswald's Church yard. Here we will need to walk a short way down Church Street to where we get to the start of the Concrete bridge beside Dunelm House.
After crossing this bridge we descend down the steps to the east/south bank of the river and back towards the Prebands Bridge. (If any one needs to there is a shorter route to the Cathedral than descending the steps. Just walk straight ahead and you will come to the green.) At Prebands Bridge we turn right up through one of the old gates to the Cathedral and colleges, up South & North Bailey to Dunlow Lane and meet up for pictures outside of the Cathedral.
Then it's a short walk down Owengate and North Bailey to the Market Place where there are ample beverage opportunities and even fish & chips. From here it's just a short walk down past the Gala Theatre back to the car park.This route can be seen on Google Maps. Just type Durham Uk in the search box.

Thank you Derek I know everyone is welcome, especially those new to the bedlington. Meeting up with  bedlingtons and their owners is  ideal  for those wanting to learn more about the breed. Not only bedlingtons but all dogs are welcome, I just wish we lived near enough to join you!
