Durham. A Grade II listed pub, parts of which date back to the 15th century. It gets its name from a legend about a lost dun (brown) cow that led Lindisfarne monks seeking a resting place for St. Cuthbert to the spot where Durham Cathedral now stands. The story, first documented in the Rites of Durham written in 1593, suggests that the monks were guided by a milkmaid who was searching for her lost dun cow to Dun Holm, establishing a resting place for the relics and marking the beginning of Durham as a settlement. The pub has a small snug in front of the Central bar and a larger lounge to the rear. I enjoyed an ale from Castle Eden Brewery in Seaham.
