Durham Riverside Walk is a popular three-mile long circular walk along the east bank of the River Wear. The walk takes only about hour and half, but there are so many wonderful spots to explore that it might take a whole day to complete. The walk starts next to Durham Castle, a magnificent Norman castle perched on top of a hill above the river, on Durham's peninsula. The walk passes by many of the town’s main features such as Durham Cathedral, Old Durham Gardens and the Durham Botanical Gardens, crosses several ancient bridges and conveniently passes near several popular restaurants and cafes such as the Cafe On The Green, Zen and The Town House, Cafe Cenno and Be Tempted. The walk is as popular with locals as it is with tourists.
