Durham Travel Blogs

The nice part about Durham is that it may be a city, but you don't have to go far to find the country. I went on a walk on some walking paths around Durham on a little trip to Tesco and it was so great! The best part was seeing the Cathedral from the distance. I hope more people who go to England g…

The durham castle is not all that big. If you've been around england then this castle isnt very impressive. However, the environment in which it is set is what makes it unique. Its well kept and extremely picturesque.A good idea for a day outing.

A trip around my home county, to see its history and such.

1 week in Scotland visiting my family heritage!

For our honeymoon my wife Anna, and I went to Thailand, Italy, Germany, Amsterdam, France, UK and Iceland! It was an amazing trip, my first to Europe, between October and November 2006. Anna was around 4 months pregnant with our first son, Jake, so she wasn't able to drink so our dream of drinking red wine in Paris through the night had to be postponed for another trip. Iceland had always been a dream destination for me for as long back as I can remember and I finally made it there!
