The magnificent Cathedral is a must see during your stay in Durham. One of the finest examples of Norman architecture, the Cathedral is unusual in its Moorish influences.

Durham has a compact city centre, making it a joy to explore the fine old buildings and interesting shops that line the streets. Sipping a coffee in the old cobbled Market Place and enjoying the street entertainers here is one of the highlights of a weekend break in Durham.

While if you feel the need for some peace and quiet during one of our short breaks in Durham, stroll down to the river banks and watch the rowers practicing.
