A 3 night trip to Durham including the Norman Church of Christ, Blessed Mary the Virgin and St Cuthbert of Durham (usually known as Durham Cathedral) which is the seat of the Anglican bishop of Durham. The Bishopric dates from 995, with the present cathedral being founded in AD 1093. The cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage site along with nearby Durham Castle, which faces it acrossPalace Green. The trip also included 2 lovely walks, each about 5 miles and mostly flat, one to the south and the other to the north of the city provided by the Durham Tourist Information Centre. The background music is Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in D minor, OP.125 - Molto vivace played by the Boston Symphony Orchestra conductor Alexander Rahbari
