Starting point




Durham
DH1 1SQ

This short ride will go out west to Sherburn and follow the roads to Bowburn before we delve into railway history and seek out the 5 stations of Durham. We start with the Leamside line at high Shincliffe before flowing downhill to old Shincliffe village and view the remains of the first station in Durham. A little sojourn along the river brings us to Elvet station before a climb up to Gilesgate. Our final station is the current one built non the 11 arches viaduct with probably the greatest view of the cathedral and castle in the land.
