Description
Come join me on this live-streamed online tour of Durham city. Highlighting its medieval core, we will walk across its bridges, marvel at the 900-year-old cathedral and castle, uncover hidden gems, and go through secluded passages where people don't normally go!
In the course of this Online Experience, you will meet the legendary Northumberland saints of St. Cuthbert and the Venerable Bede and learn about the power of the medieval prince Bishops. I will also tell you about notable people, such as the Marquis of Londonderry, the bagpipe-playing horse hustler Jimmy Allen, and the famous violin-playing dwarf Count Borowski, as we make our way from one place to another.
