Durham Cathedral and Castle sit on top of a rocky outcrop, the very reason for Durham’s construction on this site. Durham Cathedral is one of only 33 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the UK. Dating back to 1093 it was built to house the remains of St Cuthbert and developed into a thriving monastery and fortress for the infamous Prince Bishops'. Brimming with history, Durham is packed with narrow medieval streets and some lovely independent shops offering everything from bespoke jewelry to designer fashion.

Durham University is Ranked 7th in the Guardian University Guide 2024 and is consistently placed among the top 10 universities in the UK according to three prestigious league tables: the Complete University Guide, the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide, and now the Guardian University Guide.

Durham city centre is only two miles from the A1(M). There are several express coach services daily from most major cities. Durham is well served by both regional express services and the local bus network. From the city bus station - a short walk from the railway station - a bus service runs every 15 minutes past the Colleges on South Road.

An early viewing is recommended to appreciate the quality of accommodation on offer.
