하이라이트
This self-guided walking tour takes you on a journey through time to explore the dramatic peninsula of Durham city. You’ll make your way from the bustling heart of the city, along tranquil riverside footpaths and medieval bridges, to the world-famous Durham Cathedral. You’ll see some of the most spectacular vantage points around, and hear tales of St. Cuthbert and his miraculous journey to the city roughly 300 years after his death! Along the way, you’ll encounter the legendary kings and ferocious rivalries that have shaped Durham since Anglo-Saxon times. From wealthy and eccentric Prince Bishops to humble locals, you’ll meet the people who have made the city what it is today. Allow an hour for the tour without any additional stops but you can pause the tour whenever you want for refreshments enroute. You'll need to download the tour onto the VoiceMap app which uses your location to move the story along at the right time and place. The tour can also be enjoyed virtually at home.

5Audio tour of Durham
Wry informative. Easy to follow at your own pace
4Do it at your own pace tour!
We were too late to book onto a walking tour so chose this self guided tour instead. Saw things we’d have missed if we didn’t have it. Stunning views. Takes an hour. Medium walking route - steps and some hilly bits - fine for us. App itself sometimes froze or said we were lost so you need to be a bit tech aware to use it. Very glad we did it, thank you.
5Fabulous!
A fabulous audio tour of Durham. Intimate and flexible. Well worth it as you can do it at your own pace.
5great
lovely tour around durham great to see all the sights
1Path closure stopped tour!
The app download was problematic. Unfortunately the pathway at the second part of the route was closed for repairs (16th September at 11:00am) which threw the walking plan so after only a few minutes we were unable to complete the tour. The path closure was not the fault of VoiceMap tours so they cannot be blamed for the situation but it was zero value for money as it transpired.
5Durham landmarks in the sunshine
A nicely paced audio tour with interesting facts along the way. Excellent weather added to the experience. The GPS tracker wasn't always accurate so the tour didn't automatically kick in at all the landmarks but not a problem as you can play each landmark manually...and not the fault of the tour!

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.
