DURHAM VLOG: Top things to do in Durham, England - city and county! 

Thank you. Born and raised in Durham for 40yrs and now live in Alberta , Canada. Miss it😞

I live in Durham also (well just outside the city), it is a very explorable city and great transport links to other places in the North East.

City of my birth, expat Geordie, Canada. Great video, thank you.

I did my masters in Durham university and I love the place. Now live in Toronto, Canada.

Oh I love that they've done that with the lego. Such a cool idea to get more kids involved (and me).

Thanks for Sharing! Safe travels and Hi from Travelly World! 👍👍👍

Durham looks awesome, I still haven't been. Great video! :)

The Auckland Tower is a huge flop. Thank you for showing Beamish. Putting that on the To Do.

Get yourself to the coast its stunning ,and some great walks ,and dene's (woods) to explore ,Hawthorn and Csstle Eden Dene's are a must.

Fantastic video... Durham is my home county, the places you show are the places I have loved and lived all my life, to the extent that the Fish Fryer in Beamish used to be in the village I lived in as a kid, so I must have had dozens of fish and chips from that fryer that people all over the world now get their food from... I also worked for the Auckland Project but less about that as they are a horrendous company to work for lol... looking forwards to binge watching more of your videos :)

I live in Durham. I can literally see the cathedral from my window. Why am i watching this? p.s going to the top of the cathedral is terrifying. I swear that staircase id deadly.

COUNTY DURHAM, DARLINGTON, TEESSIDE, BILLINGHAM, MIDDLESBROUGH, STOCKTON, YARM, NEWCASTLE, JESMOND & YORK - OUR UNUSUAL NEIGHBOURS AND LOCAL HISTORY IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND Most people living in the North of England think they know their neighbours and local history but how would you know your neighbour worked for MI6? Most who knew the Fairclough family didn’t have a clue that from the seventies Bill Fairclough was a secret agent (MI6 codename JJ) working for various intelligence agencies. What’s more they had no idea he was following in his parents’ footsteps. Bill's parents met during the Second World War when his father, ostensibly working for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), worked secretly on creating bombs to wipe out the Nazi's industrial hinterland. In 1941 in Yarm Richard married Margaret Hawxwell, a local lass from Middlesbrough. After the war in Europe ended in May 1945, Dr Richard Alan Fairclough continued to work for British Intelligence (MI1). Not long after retiring from ICI in the seventies, Richard Fairclough opened and ran an antiquarian book shop business in Yarm High Street until his death in 1987. The book shop was a bit of an enigma as it was also a haunt for spooks. Why? Best ask his son Bill Fairclough (MI6 codename JJ). When not gated at St Peter’s School, York Bill Fairclough spent most of his childhood and early teens in the North East of England. As a child in the fifties he was educated at Red House School in Norton. He lived in Billingham and then in a vast white house (once the home of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley) in Norton Green overlooking the duck pond. In Bill’s teens, the Faircloughs moved to live in Middleton St George and later in Yarm. Bill also lived in flats he rented near nightclubs he helped run during the late sixties and early seventies in Portrack, Stockton-on-Tees and Jesmond in Newcastle upon Tyne. Conveniently for him they were near the offices of the firm of Chartered Accountants (Coopers & Lybrand, now PwC) he worked for in Middlesbrough and Newcastle upon Tyne. So if you lived, worked or visited any of these places you may well have unwittingly encountered this “spooky” family, been their neighbours or inhabited the houses they lived in. A quick web-search will even disclose some of the addresses where they lived. Mind you, if you live in any of them now, best sweep them for bugs! Details including full addresses of where the Faircloughs lived and worked are given in most of Bill Fairclough’s bios on the web such as can be found at everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/bill-fairclough. If you were as fascinated as we were, you can also read the raw fact based thriller Beyond Enkription, the first stand-alone novel to be released in The Burlington Files series (theburlingtonfiles.org/#/reviews). It’s a memorable and distinctively different noir espionage thriller based on his and his family’s experiences in 1974 and he still seems to be operational as Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings might have noticed (theburlingtonfiles.org/news_2021.07.21.php).

Fun fact: I own this city.

If you are student in Durham university give me like 😉

What in god's name is the stupid thump,thump ring , ring racket about. We're trying to learn about our city( until I switched off)

I'm sorry but the cathedral is boring from my perspective (a child)
