Durham Cathedral



Stopped in Durham overnight and it was beautiful. It is a lovely historic town with an incredible Cathedral, a Castle, a river running through it, lovely market square and cobbles for England.

Turns out that Durham Cathedral was originally built as a mausoleum for St Cuthbert. St Cuthbert was beheaded in battle and his body is buried in the cathedral along with the head of St Oswald. What a gruesome tale!!!

The were also some great shops. Couldn't resist taking this photo!!!
