Durham

Pretty quiet day today. Just wandering the river, cathedral and town. Must confess Durham left me a bit cold, it has its charming parts, old bridges and a few nice buildings but it's mostly generic shops and a castle you can't see (it's student accomidation).

The cathedral is beautiful, but doesn't allow photos which is a big bummer for me. Heaps of carving into the blocks of the columns themselves and so on. I think the thing is I was expecting it to be like York again, but it's really not. Onwards towards Hadrians wall tomorrow.
