Come all ye jolly wayfarers <br />and visit Old Durham Town, <br />a place with long years of history <br />a British place of renown. <br /> <br />A Norman Cathedral and Castle <br />bridges an old-fashioned mill... <br />could fill your day-out with wonder, <br />Come and climb up Old Elvet Hill. <br /> <br />Explore the City of Princes <br />and take a trip on the river Wear <br />see trees so green, a University <br />Minster bells you surely will hear. <br /> <br />The famed Durham Miners' Gala <br />is held every year in July, <br />brass bands play thro' narrow streets <br />and banners are held way up high. <br /> <br />Durham is worth a visit, believe me <br />if only to admire the encompassing view <br />and enjoy some time in a market town <br />where St. Cuthbert would call to you.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/durham-city/
