The destination
A closer look at Durham
Durham's cathedral and castle rise above a bend in the River Wear. Groups can explore the historic peninsula, enjoy riverside paths and discover the streets around the market place.
Make time for the highlights
Build your visit around Durham Cathedral, Durham Castle and River Wear. Give your group time to explore at its own pace, with breaks for food, photographs and any pre-booked activities. Check opening times and admission arrangements with each attraction before finalising your plans.
