Heritage Open Day Event - Durham World Heritage Site Guided Tour

Tour led by Blue Badge Guide, Jan Williams.

Durham World Heritage Site is in the North East of England and was inscribed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 1986. It consists of Durham Cathedral, Durham Castle and the buildings located between them.

Explore Durham Cathedral, one of Europe’s great Medieval buildings, and home to the shrines of St Cuthbert and the Venerable Bede. Discover Durham Castle, built 900 years ago to protect the English borders, and now part of Durham University. Find out about the other gems on Palace Green and elsewhere on this World Heritage Site. Learn about the history of Durham, the spread of Christianity in North East England, and how UNESCO and the University are protecting heritage around the world.

Please note this is a walking tour of external areas. For interior tours visitors should book separately with the Cathedral and Castle.
