Durham cathedral

Durham guided walking tour (half day)

Enjoy a guided walking tour of Durham city centre, including admission to the cathedral, one of the world’s finest Romanesque buildings. Massive columns support the nave vault, and the pointed arches across the nave are among the earliest examples and show how the Romanesque style developed into Gothic.

The 12th-century Galilee Chapel, at the west end, is the resting place of the Venerable Bede (673-735AD), the theologian who wrote the famous Ecclesiastical History of England. His bones were brought to Durham in 1022 and laid in this tomb in the 14th century.

You also view the exterior of the nearby Norman Castle. William the Conqueror ordered its construction in 1072 as a ‘motte and bailey’ castle. It was rebuilt in stone by Bishop le Puiset in the 12th century, and transformed from a fortress into a comfortable residence by later prince-bishops. It is now used by Durham University.
