Hotels in Durham and County Durham with special
offers and weekend breaks
The City of Durham, a University town and designated World Heritage Site is home
to many attractions and places of interest and is ideal for a weekend break.
Durham
Cathedral is thought by many to be the finest example of Norman church architecture
in England. It has the tombs of St Cuthbert and The Venerable Bede and with other
sites such as Lindisfarne and the Venerable Bede's World at Jarrow it is an important
part of Britain's early Christian Heritage. Evidence of the turbulent Middle Ages
can be seen at castles such as
Durham
Castle and the nearby Barnard Castle.
Durham
Castle was founded in 1072 and is a fine example of a motte-and-bailey castle.

using displays, models and artefacts, the
