People often think this County is located in Ireland, but in reality, it is located in the northeast of England. With its large cathedral city and historic boundaries, it is a place filled with amazing things to see and do, but it is also a pretty great place to visit for the food as well. While I haven’t been to all the restaurants in County Durham I have visited enough of them to warrant making this list of ten of the very best of them…
