A delightful linear walk commencing in the middle of Durham City, following the River Wear under Durham Cathedral and Durham Castle. It continues alongside the Wear through the outskirts of Durham and reaches the village of Shincliffe, passing the 18th Century Shincliffe Hall, with lovely river views on a mainly flat route to this point, but with a sharp ascent through the woods after the hall.
You then continue through beautiful countryside, passing a Grade 1 listed Norman church and Croxdale Hall and ending at the village of Sunderland Bridge.
A bus can take you back to Durham city centre.
