One of my best friends Paul Chiwaya had a rare chance to study at the Durham University. He will never forget the one-year period he spent studying in Durham. He treasures the iconic architecture of the city and their medieval tone. He always sings great songs about Durham...
If you are watching this during the process of deciding where to study, I suggest you not to think twice. I just graduated and studied there for 4 years. It was an amazing experience. One of the negative things I read on the internet before going was that night life is bad compared to other cities. Yes this is true but you can take a train ride to Newcastle, one of the best night life cities in the uk, which takes approx 20 mins.
I graduated four years ago (Grey!) Nightlife used to be great in Durham, although I think Love Shack and Studio have closed and even Klute seems to have a few more rules thesedays! Still loved it and this last few years lockdown has persuaded me to return for my 2nd Degree in September, wish me luck! a bit less partying this time though!!!
Great video. Brought back such lovely memories of the place. I graduated from Durham University two years back. A truly great university with wonderful staff. Shout out to all the staff in Theology department which is fortunately located in the Durham Cathedral premises. A very serene and wonderful nightlife and very safe too. I learnt a lot about the history of the place from your video. I didnt know the history behind some of the buildings and monument until I watched this video. Wished I had watched this video while I was still there. I would have appreciated those buildings and monument more.
You don't even know how much I love Durham. I was studying at University of Sunderland and would travel every weekend for a pint. Such a great atmosphere for students. Durham forever in my heart💙💙
Love Durham what a classy place, I'm not sure if Durham is a town or a city! I love the Cathedral & the walk down into the winding streets! What a beautiful sunny day it was for you doing that walk & the Revolution Restaurant looks amazing with the views overlooking the River!
it has always been free, they ask if you want to donate, and sell the usual guides etc. the guides are useful if you haven't visited before. definitely worth a visit.
I luv your videos as always , i like when you tell us about the place and the history, its very interesting, I will never be visiting this places thats why I like you sharing your videos. music was nice and calming. thank you 😊
Thank you very much for posting. Can't say I like the music but the quality of the video is fantastic and far better than any I have seen. The fact you chose a lovely day as well to film it shows off (just by these couple of streets) why Durham is my favourite city in the UK and I feel so lucky just living about 12 mins drive from the Market Square.
Again, another part of the UK I don't know. I'm only familiar with Shropshire and the south east. One of my ex students, has just gone to Durham University, so it's nice to see. Another wonderful pick me up from you. ❤️👍👍
Another fantastic & great video of DURHAM | Full tour of Durham City Centre from Durham Cathedral and Castle to Riverside | 4K Walk!.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@stephaniepee1 I did notice a few closed shops. That's the same in most towns I visit now - it's really sad . I think the answer is to change many of the retail buildings into residential and get people living in the town centres again to get them thriving and bustling once more
If it was the waitress who served us she was fantastic Loved it in there although we got an alert the next day and had to go home and self isolate for ten days 🤣
@@GimbalWalkTV Used to be just a box for voluntary contributions but now they have the counter and guides. I think it's purposely designed so that you feel you have to pay even though signs say it's suggested not voluntary.
@@GimbalWalkTV Dunelm old english for hill and holme old norse for island. Hill Island and Dun Holme were the original old names for Durham and in the middle ages Durham was known as Dunelm thanks to latin. Hence the collective nickname. We learnt all that in local history classes at comprehensive school. Im from Durham City itself originally now i live 4 miles away from DH1.
Too right but bus station has been obliterated thank goodness!!! Too many closed shops and the dreadful monstrosity of a building site at Milburn gate. Totally blocks the view of our beautiful cathedral as you come under the bridge. Such huge concrete buildings totally out of keeping!!!! What were the planners thinking????
@@GimbalWalkTV Durham is much like most other historic towns in the U.K. & especially so the Cathedral cities. We have long standing, insular communities. Wherein you will find prevailing facial features & stature. As in Pedigree breeds. Durham people have straight angular noses.
I love durham. But I find it ridiculous that the castle is a uni campus. You aren't allowed to look around unless you're at the uni or pay, unlike the cathedral which is free
It could be such a nice city but the town centre streets are filthy and has many dodgy drunk louts at weekends. I know it's a Uni town but does everyone have to shout instead of talking. City council need to clean the place up.
Also watch Newcastle Upon Tyne 👉 ruclips.net/video/moLIPAkbIzM/видео.html
Love it all good me ares of Newcastle I was born ther colvin
Make vedio on Middlesbrough walk
Durham cathedral is pretty spectacular probably my favourite in England.
Good call 🙏

Iwalk here regularly as it's my home town. it's as impressive in real life as on film.
Do you have a straight angular nose ?

What a beautiful sunny day it was for you doing that walk & the Revolution Restaurant looks amazing with the views overlooking the River!
I think I'm going to head back that way soon
@@GimbalWalkTV that would be lovely to see Durham again😍
Very well fimed, thank you, and gave a great account of Durham as a place to visit, which I shall do as soon as practicable.
Thank you Brian!
Great video,I work around the corner from the Cathedral. Never tire of seeing the city.
Ah nice! What a great city!
it has always been free, they ask if you want to donate, and sell the usual guides etc. the guides are useful if you haven't visited before. definitely worth a visit.
Ah I’ll have to go back - we didn’t go past the desk!
I live 4 miles west from the City... Lovely place on a summers day for a drink, bite to eat and a stroll! :)
Thanks - you've sold it to me! I'll have a daytrip there in near future.
My home town....and I love it. Thanks for doing this one. Hope your knees are ok ❤
My home city, a pleasure to live in
I love it - what a great city!
I really enjoyed the video and the no Abbey and the church and the walk
Enjoy the rest of your day hope you are well

Visited Durham a couple of times, lovely city especially around the Cathedral and the Wear/wier.
So true!
Beautiful!
It is

Can't wait to go to uni here!!
You will have a great time
Very enjoyable . Many thanks indeed .
Thank you too!

Many thanks - have a top week Michael!
Great video as always,thank you.
Thanks for watching!
If you can come here again, try the Riverside walk, its also pretty ❤
I also thought the umbrellas were fab. Hope u got a photo looking upwards down the lane. Great video, keep on walking 😀
Thank you Natalie!
Che bei ricordi!
❤️❤️
I live 3 miles outside city centre
Durham is one of the most beautiful cities in the UK then again I’m biased 🙂
You're right though - so beautiful!
I worked in Durham about 2 years ago never got to see the sites, they look really good 😎😃👌🏼
I cycle alot into Durham and up to the cathedral never noticed the flat white place before might give it a try
Didnt realise that Durham was so beautiful
It’s fab isn’t it
Great video. May I ask what camera you used please?
I’m glad you ended the video before North Road.
😮😮😮
yeah not a place to be shown
Durham is a nice place
Very!
pretty cool I have to say! i work on silver street and i wish it was a busy shopping place :(
Oh has it died a bit Stephanie?
Yeah footfall is much lower these days making it hard for retail shops to stay open :(
@@stephaniepee1 I did notice a few closed shops. That's the same in most towns I visit now - it's really sad . I think the answer is to change many of the retail buildings into residential and get people living in the town centres again to get them thriving and bustling once more
My best friend is the waitress in Revolution! 😂
If it was the waitress who served us she was fantastic
Loved it in there although we got an alert the next day and had to go home and self isolate for ten days 🤣
no charge for durham cathedral, it's always free. i visit every week....
Ah when we went in there was a barrier and a couple of tills? We’re they just guides?

Proud as punch to be a Dunelmian ( the collective name for those born in Durham). 👍👍
Ah interesting - I can't make the link between Durham and Dunelm though - what does that mean exactly?
@@GimbalWalkTV its a demonym, a collective nickname for us Durhamites
Durhamites is another nickname.

Good job he stopped where he did and not go up North Road, that's where Durham quickly becomes less 'quaint' 😂
Yeah I kind of got that vibe so stopped right here 🤣
Too right but bus station has been obliterated thank goodness!!! Too many closed shops and the dreadful monstrosity of a building site at Milburn gate. Totally blocks the view of our beautiful cathedral as you come under the bridge. Such huge concrete buildings totally out of keeping!!!! What were the planners thinking????
Sssshhhhhhhhh, keep it quiet. We like having it all to ourselves ;)
I can see why! ❤️❤️

When I spent the day in Durham, I noticed a prevailing angular nose among the populace.
I dont' know what this means?

@@anvilbrunner.2013 what nonsense! lol
@@johnhalluk69 Nose sense.
Looks a bit like York
Yeah that's what I thought too!
Went out girl fro Durham in 70s met her in Leeds
Did you ever take her up to Durham for a day?
It’s weird when you live in a city older than most countries around the world
Yeah so true!!
I love durham. But I find it ridiculous that the castle is a uni campus. You aren't allowed to look around unless you're at the uni or pay, unlike the cathedral which is free
To be fair most places like castles that I go to you have to pay to get in them all
Well you don't want to walk in on the students whilst they are busy do you . Holiday times when the students go home you can hire accommodation tho .
It could be such a nice city but the town centre streets are filthy and has many dodgy drunk louts at weekends. I know it's a Uni town but does everyone have to shout instead of talking.
City council need to clean the place up.
You talk rubbish.
@@ronrichardson3103 Look for yourself, I certainly won't be rushing back.
@@metube9541 fine we still like it .
@@ronrichardson3103 👌
You missed the best part of the cathedral the dun cow its why the bones are there
I’m heading back to film this one again as the castle wasn’t open etc so it was only a fly by visit ❤️
The first congestion charge in uk,you pay to drive up to palace green.
Didn’t know that!
Was that back in the old days or now?

No railway station, no soul😜
Horrible place rough as fuck...
As a visitor for the day you would never really know!
It does get rough on a weekend. With all the local run down pit villages sending in their chavvie young ppl to start fights and such.
