Palace Green, Durham Cathedral
Starting from Durham Cathedral we make our way to the tranquil setting of Finchale Abbey. Crossing the river we will make our way up to Pitthouse Lane. Please note, depending on the terrain, it may be necessary to push our bikes up to the road. From here we will weave our way through Leamside and West Rainton, cross the A690 to Pittington. We will visit the peaceful setting of St Lawrence's Church, before joining the NCN14 back into Durham and the Cathedral. To finish our ride we will visit the Peace Doves artwork by Peter Walker in the Cathedral.

A cafe stop will either be incorporated into the ride or we will visit the cafe at the Cathedral.

Traffic free cycle paths and urban roads.

In order for the ride to leave promptly, please arrive promptly to enable bike checks and safety/route description. Helmets are strongly recommended and we recommend you bring 2 spare inner tubes to fit your bike. You should ensure your bike is in good working condition before the ride. Please dress appropriately for the weather. A drink and energy snacks are also recommended.

We will regroup regularly. We never leave anyone behind.
