Durham is one of England’s most beautiful and beguiling cities. A World Heritage Site, its awe-inspiring Norman cathedral dominates the skyline, while the cobbled streets and alleyways of the old city are a delight to explore. The city is also home to a lively student population, making it a great place to eat, drink and party. There’s plenty to see and do in Durham, from admiring the architecture to exploring the surrounding countryside. The city is also a convenient base for exploring the rest of North East England.
