Nestled on the wooded banks of the River Wear, Finchale Priory's ruins are a beautiful sight. Founded in 1196, this Grade I-listed building was an outpost of Durham Cathedral and was favoured by Durham's monks as a holiday retreat. The priory was supposedly founded by the sailor, merchant and adventurer St Godric, who settled here after his many expeditions.

Well worth a visit to see the Abbey and there’s a nice little route from here to Durham city. If you follow the road out toward the Franklin Prison, there’s a pathway to the far right which will eventually take you down to the riverside into Durham.. highly recommended
