Overview

A day tour to one of the most beautiful and historic small cities in Britain. Famous for its magnificent cathedral, castle, winding streets and old market places and with wonderful views of the river far below. Durham is not to be missed!

Itinerary

Durham Castle

Across the courtyard from the cathedral is Durham castle and as they both are UNESCO World Heritage monuments, it represents a great chance to visit two very different cultural buildings.

1 hour 30 minutes
Durham Cathedral

The city is dominated by the magnificent Durham Cathedral which dates from 1093 AD and is world renowned for being one of the finest pieces of Norman architecture in the world and one of the most fabulous religious buildings. Whilst there is much to see in the cathedral, don’t miss the chance to see the tomb of Saint Cuthbert who was teaching Christianity in Northumberland back in the 7th century.

1 hour 30 minutes
Durham

A guided tour through the old streets and lanes of Durham. It is not just grand history however, Durham has some wonderful picturesque winding streets and a renowned covered market. Perhaps you might find yourself a bargain buy or find an old pub which you might want to eat in before heading back.

What an amazing cathedral. The history is fascinating. Loved the carved pillars. What was also amazing was the fact you did not have to pay to go in. Well done Durham.

You cannot fail to be impressed by this imposing cathedral and the history behind it. The welcome is warm and the stewards informative and chatty. There is so much to see and process. Memorials, tombs and the huge architecture. Do spend some time at the shrines of Beds and St Cuthbert, as well as appreciating the stained glass. To complement our visit we called into the cafe where we were served a lovely latte and a huge jam and cream scone, delicious and every bit homemade. A voluntary donation is requested and we were happy to donate, it was such a wonderful experience for a small amount of money.

Still the best attraction in Durham.

Lots to see

Published on Nov, 2021

On a week's holiday in Newcastle Upon Tyne my twin brother Stephen and I decided to jump the train down to Durham and check out this pretty town and we weren't disappointed. The two major tourist sites are Durham Castle and Durham Cathedral but there's so much more ,walking along the riverfront and you can view some amazing buildings, there's also pretty and ancient bridges that cross the River Wear, add to this the amazing amount of pubs, bars and restaurants and you have a great town to explore.
