Towering over the city, Durham Cathedral and Castle create a medieval skyline that's best viewed from riverside paths. Book tickets for student-led tours inside the UNESCO-listed castle or attend evensong services in the cathedral's magnificent interior.

We stopped by Durham today as part of a University Open Day visit and took some time to also explore the town. 

As well as the cathedral which commends a great spot over the river there is also the castle, botanical gardens as well as lots of old parts of the beautiful town to explore.
