From saints and Prince Bishops to the darker side of our history, there are stories in abundance. During the tour you will be guided around the magnificent Durham Cathedral and Durham Castle(subject to availability) which will bring to life the history that you will learn about on the walking tour. You will stop for coffee and cake at one of the city's atmospheric cafe's and later in the day drink a beer in one of our many historic pubs.

About Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough is a Teesside town on the River Tees, built on iron and steel, with a famous transporter bridge and the North York Moors close behind.

Middlesbrough lies on the south bank of the River Tees in north-east England, historically in Yorkshire. It grew from a farm into a major ironworking town in the nineteenth century after ironstone was found in the Cleveland Hills, and its bridge-building firms worked on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Tyne Bridge.
