THE most recent development in Durham City Centre has been open for just over a year - and in that time has attracted dozens of new venues.
The Riverwalk, which replaced the dated The Gates Shopping Centre, boasts a number of newly-opened bars and restaurants.
From major chains to independently-run venues, the former shopping centre has been transformed into a bustling hive of activity at all times of the day.
We've put together a handy guide of all the restaurants and bars that have opened in the venue - and included names that remained at the site before it was transformed.
