As kermit and a few other northerners on here will tell you, durham is one of the smallest cities in the world.
yup - robin and his tree come in a package. It's even more famous cause it's so big, and there's a theory that it's actually several trees that have moulded together. It's got a hollow bit and thats where they hid the money and stuff.
