Day 4 - Durham Cathedral

Durham - Harry had us dropped off next to a huge wall and told us to "go up those stairs and through that opening". It was only day two of the tour, but we figured we could trust him. Sure enough, through the opening in the wall was a courtyard and narrow and winding roads heading into town and up to the cathedral.

Before heading up the hill to the cathedral, we grabbed a pasty for the walk up. Not as good as the ones we had in London but they did the trick. (Thanks for the tip, Christina!)

We were able to see part of the service at Durham Cathedral. Another amazing piece of architecture. No pictures were allowed inside, but we bought the souvenier book. We were told pictures weren't allowed because of "Health and Safety"....we are beginning to think that means "you can't take pictures because we want you to buy hour nice booklet."







It was really windy here too. Thank goodness John from Canada was there with us so we could send him up the hill to see if there was anything interesting to look at. Apparently compared to the cathedral the views were not that spectacular, so we headed back to the bus.
