Review & FAQ:

Durham Castle (and Durham Cathedral) is part of the UNESCO Durham World Heritage Site in North East England, where they form one of the greatest monuments to the Norman Conquest of Britain and are thus essential viewing for both history buffs and architecture enthusiasts. The castle is a typical Motte and Bailey castle that has been continuously inhabited for over 1000 years and today houses students of University College, Durham. Your guided tour of the ancient castle will include all the highlights, including the fortifications, the gatehouse, the keep, and the courtyard. If you travel to Durham by train you can catch a local bus right to the entrance of the castle.
