Durham City Riverside Walk

Dog friendly

The tourist board lists the riverside walk as a dog friendly spot locals love. No lead rules given.

Listed as dog friendly by Visit County Durham. We're waiting to hear from the venue about exactly where dogs can go, so a quick call is worth it.

Wooded riverbank paths around the cathedral peninsula via Prebends Bridge. Good to pair with Cathedral and Crook Hall in a day plan.
