Durham

Durham is regarded as the most dramatic cathedral city in

Britain. The Durham Cathedral is listed in World Heritage

as the most complete Norman cathedral and stands high above

a wooded bluff on the Wear River. Durham is home to the

third-oldest University in England, founded in 1832. Durham

Castle dates from 1093 and served as the home for the

prince-bishops of the city. The Castle is now a residential

college for the main University. Durham is located in

Northeast England, near York and a 3-hour train ride

from London.
