Yeah, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Durham, I went to New College for 4 years and often slipped into the City Centre at lunchtime's (often for new music releases) and it is a nice place to go to. Most of the places around Durham itself are pretty fine too.
Durham is also a great place to get photos as well, as you can have a great range of scenery especially if you head away from the Bus Station and if you know you're way round Durham like I do it's brilliant. The only reason why I don't like taking photos in Durham City Centre myself is because far too many people know me up that way and I always see somebody I know, luckily for me it's usually when I've stopped taking photos, I saw about 3 people I knew last time I was there.
