The Story, Durham

Yesterday I headed to the City of Durham, by car only 20 minutes drive from where we live (it's even quicker by train). Our plan was to visit The Story, effectively a history of County Durham, the Botanical Gardens, the Cathedral and Durham City centre.

The first port of call was The Story which I found quite absorbing. Okay, I am an historian, but I liked the way the history of the area was presented. The good news is that it's free to get in though they rigidly enforce the 10am opening time. Definitely worth a  visit.
