At our meeting spot in the historic Market Place, in the heart of the city, we will see the 19th Century Town Hall and Guildhall, St. Nicolas' church and the statues that commemorate the city's history. We will learn about the figures who have helped to shape the city and county. From here, we will take a short walk to Framwellgate Bridge.

The oldest of the city's bridges with a magnificent view of Durham Castle and Cathedral. Here we will explore the history of the Castle and famous Prince Bishops of Durham before heading along the picturesque riverside walk to our next stop. The walk from here to the next stop will take approximately 5 minutes.

Interesting walk with the right amount of historic information given. Friendly guide who added some humour, needed on a wet day and kept to time. Would recommend.

Great trip with Peter Groark, a lovely guide. Loads of fascinating stories about Durham. We had a couple of extra walkers but Peter refused any extra payment which was the cherry on a very good cake. Thanks Peter

Great tour. Peter told some really interesting stories as we strolled through central Durham - along the river and near the cathedral and castle. Such a fascinating history of the place. Just a perfect start to our 2 day exploration of Durham. Thank you Peter

We were able to book this en route to Durham and met up with Peter on arrival. This short and accessible walking tour was the perfect introduction to the city. Peter is hugely well informed and, unlike some other tours, does not waste our time with frivolous and silly tales. This is a great overview of the history and the character of the city but perfectly entertaining also. He is a great advocate for this wonderful city and extremely good company as a guide. Much recommended!
