The cathedral city of Durham lies along the River Wear and serves as home to roughly 50, people. Legend states that the city was founded in by divine intervention — chosen to act as the new resting place for poor St. Cuthbert, whose body had to be moved to protect it from Viking raids on Lindisfarne.
