The Durham Heritage Coast

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

A series of images from my time exploring the Durham coastline.  Hi, my name is Chris and I live in County Durham, England.  Once blighted by colliery waste, nature has finally returned and we now have miles and miles of picturesque coastline to explore.  The images you can see below were all taken on my phone (my usual camera has started to glitch out and I am hoping to make enough money to have it repaired or replaced soon). I hope they give you some insight to this unique place.
