The grand Norman-era Durham Cathedral (which plays a role in Harry Potter) and nearby fairy-tale, turreted castle have the words ‘World Heritage Site’ written all over them.
The majestic northeast city of Durham is a historical treasure trove; castles nestle in riversides, parks thrive with deer, and living museums radiate with industrial heritage. However, that’s just a taste of Durham’s best places to visit. Bring your map to visit Durham County and the North Pennines, where there are miles of heather-carpeted dales to explore. And sports fans aren’t short of things to do in Durham – it’s ‘cricket mad’, especially when The Ashes come to town.
