Breeze Durham for International Women’s Day

From Maiden Castle ( ideal start point for those doing the parkrun!) we will cycle through Durham riverbanks to Hild Bede, up to Gilesgate for a visit to Daisy Edis, returning down Claypath and through the market to stop at Rosemary Cramp and Elizabeth Bowes - if there is time we will also visit to St Mary’s College statues before dropping back through the University, along Whinny Hill and Green Lane to the Rowing club for coffee.

A short tour of notable women in Durham

Mainly cycle path with some stretches on B roads.

We will stop at plaques to women in Durham including Hild-Bede, Daisy Edis, Rosemary Cramp and Elizabeth Bowes. We hope to encourage international women to join us on this short ride around beautiful Durham

Helmets are always advisable as are gloves and clothing suitable for the weather. We also recommend you bring along a spare inner tube, bike pump and tyre levers - we can do the rest!

First-timers welcome!
