Durham Cathedral
Celebrated, together with Durham Castle as one of Britain's
first World Heritage Sites, the Durham Cathedral is one of the
finest examples of a Norman building in England. An icon of
northeast England, the Cathedral was voted as the nation's
best-loved building in a nationwide BBC poll held in 2001. Renowned
for its immense architecture, ancient history and deep religious
roots the Cathedral is a must see for any visitor to Durham.
