Kynren - An Epic Tale of England & a visit to Durham
Late morning join the coach for an included visit to Durham. Durham is home to England's most beautiful Romanesque cathedral, a huge castle, and, surrounding them both, a cobweb of hilly, cobbled streets, a beautiful city with streets packed with history, culture and stunning architecture. Guarded by the River Wear, Durham City with its dramatic skyline never fails to impress. Return to the hotel to enjoy an early meal prior to setting off for the Kynren show. Take your seat as dusk settles over the vast, still lake and the expectant audience of 8,000 falls silent and the epic show begins........Credit: Eleven Arches
