Photos of the River Wear at Durham City

Durham City Centre is surrounded by the River Wear on three sides on a peninsula formed by a loop in the river.

There are riverside footpaths around the city and these photos were taken from these footpaths and the bridges that cross the river.

The photos may take a while to load depending on your connection speed.
