About Durham
Beautiful Durham offers a vibrant and cosmopolitan student scene, set against stunning architecture and some of the most inspirational countryside Britain has to offer. Boasting a rich history, Durham city still resembles a medieval citadel – with its Norman Cathedral and Castle forming a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Durham is compact, yet offers an impressive mix of great places to eat, shop and party. Plus, with Newcastle-upon-Tyne just 16 miles away, you’re not far from a taste of big-city life.
