Founded around a bend in the River Wear in AD 995, Durham grew up around a Norman cathedral that still dominates the skyline and draws visitors from well beyond County Durham. The cobbled streets and riverside paths make for easy wandering between stops, with plenty of cafes for a break, restaurants for something more substantial, and hotels for those staying to explore further.
