Geocache Description:

This is a micro. Worth looking for, for perhaps the best view in Durham! Wharton Park is a lovely place for a stroll. Just look for the battlements...

The first Durham Miners Gala was held in Wharton Park in 1871. It developed into the largest unofficial miners and trade union gathering in the United Kingdom. At its peak the Gala attracted over 300,000 people - over 7 times the population of Durham city itself.

Banners would traditionally be taken on foot from its particular colliery into Durham, and the event was marked by large unions of men marching on the roads leading into the city.
