This immense Romanesque (Norman) cathedral has been here for 1000 years. It holds the bones of St Cuthbert from nearby Lindisfarne (Holy) Island which was sacked by Vikings in the 800’s. The cathedral is impressive to tour and espcially majestic if you manage to catch evensong.
Durham is built in a hill in a tight bend of the river and is dominated by the cathedral and castle. The town houses an ancient university, has a medieval appearance, and is worth a walk.
