Durham is regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in the UK. It is famous for Durham Cathedral and Durham Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that attracts thousands of tourists every year. In fact, the Cathedral has been voted Britain's favourite building on a number of occasions. Although a small city, with a population of only 50,000, Durham has the third oldest university in England (after Oxford and Cambridge) with nearly 18,000 students. The university's students come from all over the world, which has made Durham a lively cosmopolitan city. You'll find a wide range of restaurants and cafes. Try modern English cuisine or traditional afternoon tea.

Durham is a truly beautiful city, where the famous Castle and Cathedral - together designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site - dominate the skyline. With a population of around 43,000 Durham has a compact, friendly feel but still provides the facilities you would expect of a thriving city including a number of cafés, bars and restaurants, and an array of popular high-street shops.
And when your inclination turns to something a bit quieter, there are numerous castles, walks, cycle routes and beaches all within easy reach of Durham City. If you want a taste of the urban, Durham is only ten minutes away from Newcastle by train, with a regular rail service linking the cities.
