If you want to see the cathedral in Durham, head to Durham Cathedral, in the centre of town. Our travelers also like this historical area for its riverfront setting.
If you'd like to get a taste of Durham student life, check out Durham University, located 0.9 mi (1.5 km) from central Durham. Our travelers also like this historical area for its riverfront setting.
Admired for its university life and cathedral, Durham features attractions such as Gala Theatre Durham and Durham Cathedral. This welcoming city has something for everyone including its rich culture, restaurants, and sights like Adventure Valley and Diggerland.
Much of the city is walkable and the historic attractions are well worth seeing. It is clearly a university city but that gives a vibrancy missing in other cities. Parts of the city are a step back in time and are well worth exploring, day or night.

Cathedral and castle is a great place to visit. Take a guided tour if you're really interested. Eating at Fabios is excellent and great service and friendly and atmosphere. Really good breakfast at Chapters. Indoor market worth a nosey too.

Lots of history all around as well as new areas. Fairly good for clothes shopping if you like EWM, Next, Monsoon and New Look. Tesco's is the local supermarket for the many students here. Pleasant walk along the river when it's good weather.

Love Durham but not brilliant for wheelchair users as lots of cobbled streets and steps into coffee shops and restaurants.

Very nice old town. Well worth a visit. Cathedral, castle, river walks. Lovely coffee shops, bars and restaurants.
"At first glance my room looked perfectly acceptable. Looking a bit further it could have done with a good wipe round the edges.
Comfy bed, nice bedding, clean bathroom. Snug, okay for a one night stay"
"Always a pleasure to return to this hotel. Friendly staff and lovely rooms. Each one seems to be different but comfortable. The hotel layout is a bit quirky but all part of the charm"
