Durham Cathedral and Croxdale Circuit

Sunday 21st September at 1.45pm Durham Cathedral and Croxdale Circuit 11 miles Join us for a largely traffic free ride from Durham City (Clayport Library, DH1 1WA) along the riverbanks to Shincliffe, through Croxdale Estate, Sunderland Bridge and back to Durham past Farewell Hall with a stop at the Cathedral for a cuppa. This is a great little ride which reveals what a wealth of easily accessible traffic free quiet routes are within striking distance of the city centre. Although most of the ride follows good quality surfaces the section through Croxdale Estate is a bit rough in parts. However, chunky tyre road bikes, hybrids and mountain bikes will all be suitable (I will be riding a road bike with touring quality tyres). By Durham standards the ride is not massively hilly – there’s 2 main uphills from the River Wear but these are steady and not overly steep. Children are welcome but I would recommend that they have ridden up to 10 miles previously and Uunder 16’s must wear a helmet.
