Durham City is home to one of the most recognisable landmarks in the UK, majestic Durham Cathedral. Together with adjacent Durham Castle, this UNESCO World Heritage Site forms one of the most stunning city panoramas in Europe. The panoramic view of Durham Cathedral and Castle has been described as “one of the finest architectural experiences of Europe” and together they are now designated as a World Heritage Site. The city centre is delightfully compact and is largely pedestrianised with attractive cobbled alleyways and narrow lanes offering a great range of speciality shops and places to eat.
