Durham could definitely be one of those towns that appear in fairy tales and stories of kings and knights. Lying on a hilled peninsula formed by the Wear River, the striking cathedral overlooks from the hilltop, surrounded by the castle, palaces and historic buildings. Get transported back in time by the magic of this English jewel, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Though archaeological evidence suggests the area has been inhabited since 2000 BC, the present-day settlement was founded by monks from Lindisfarne in 995, choosing the area as the final resting place of Saint Cuthbert. Symeon of Durham stated once that ‘to see Durham is to see the English Zion, and by doing so one may save oneself a trip to Jerusalem’. Hotels and B&Bs in Durham’s historic centre are a popular choice to enjoy this historic legacy.
Its powerful religious position granted such great honour to the city, that the bishop still holds the rights to a seat in the House of Lords, and to accompany the sovereign at the coronation. During the 19th century and encompassing the industrial revolution, the university was founded, with Durham Castle becoming its first college.
Whether you’re searching for a cottage, a modern hotel, or a cheap hostel, Booking.com offers a wide range of accommodation in the area.

We didn't see much as we were there for one night on the way to somewhere else, but we had a lovely dinner and the city looked beautiful with a lot of history. It makes me feel like I want to go back to see more.

a small and pretty /beautiful city with riverside walks and countryside surroundings easily accessed by footpaths and bridleways : stone architecture, old buildings, cobbled places , car-free centre , bike friendly , lots of diverse eating places . Friendly atmosphere , sense of community , welcoming. Open air Saturday market, indoor market too in week.
The buses are cheap and plentiful and well-used .
I didn't take the guided tour of the Castle but the Cathedral is open to visitors and is totally stunning -architecture and artwork and links to local community . The tower I left for others without vertigo - I expect the view is amazing .
My favourite were the bridges across the river which wends its way through the city with tree reflections ,riverside walks and boat trips .

An English City that is still…English.
I’m Italian and I’ve been living in London for the past 20years. Let’s be honest, the Capital definitely lost is British identity, so it was so nice to see a place that still keeps it.

Durham is beautiful!
Durham is beautiful! Make sure you visit the cathedral and the castle. There are ample opportunities to explore the beautiful trails around the River Wear. There are plenty of good restaurants in Durham: we are big fans of "Fat Hippo" for burgers and "Dingswaysushi" for sushi and ramen. From Durham you can also quickly reach Newcastle by train. If you have a car, you can go to beautiful castles such as Alnwick and Bamburgh, and you can visit Lindisfarne (an impressive tidal island off the northeast coast of England with the remains of a monastery). You can also go to the sites around Hadrian's Wall.

The Cathedral was stunning (we had the bonus of a candle lit concert in the evening). Unfortunately the castle was closed due to the start of the new academic year for the universities which reduced what there was to see in the centre of the city. The centre was bustling with plenty of eating places to choose from. The Botanic Gardens were a pleasant interlude. Overall the two days were sufficient for us.
