It’s also a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site with beautiful Norman architecture and spectacular stained-glass windows.

Explore other iconic landmarks in the city, such as the 11th century Durham Castle and the medieval Durham City Walls. These fascinating attractions provide a unique insight into the history of the city, offering a glimpse into the lives of people who once lived there.
