Approaching Durham from the direction of Sherburn you can pick up this bike path that passes through Old Durham. This route takes you down to the river Wear with fantastic views of the Cathedral from a different angle. A great place to take a short break and watch the many university rowing crews doing their thing along the river.
The path is well used by pedestrians and dog walkers so just be considerate and you shouldn't have a problem.
