About Durham Cathedral
Durham Cathedral is a place of worship, pilgrimage and spirituality. As one of Britain's most iconic buildings and a UNESCO World Heritage Site we welcome thousands of visitors every year. We look forward to welcoming you!
Durham Cathedral Description
Durham Cathedral is the greatest Norman building in England, perhaps even in Europe. It is cherished not only for its architecture but also for its incomparable setting. For this reason it was inscribed together with the Castle as one of Britain's first World Heritage Sites.
The Cathedral is visited each year by hundreds of thousands of worshippers, pilgrims and tourists. We hope you will be one of them.

An exciting discovery, of a ŌĆślostŌĆÖ text by 17th century writer Alice Thornton, has been made at Durham Cathedral.
