Dun Cow Lane and its Buildings

  • Description

    "Dun Cow Lane takes its name after a legendary Dun Cow that led the community of St Cuthbert to Durham in 995.....Although today an easily accessible lane leading up to Durham Cathedral, Dun Cow Lane once separated the outer and inner Baileys. There once would have been a gate running across the lane, with a gate in the middle. Today, the gate has disappeared, but remains of the wall can still be seen incorporated into the structure of Abbey House...."
