If you decide to go to Durham by taking the train, you will see the majestic Durham Cathedral overlooking the city, situated on an outcrop of rock that looks over the river of Wear and the town. Historically speaking, this Anglo-Saxon Cathedral was first created back in 995 A.D. It was situated within the community of St. Cuthbert, and was subsequently moved to Durham in order to protect it from Vikings that were, at that time, invading England.

 

Once you visit the Cathedral, you will see not too far away from the famous Durham Castle. Part of the history of the Norman Invasion, was a dangerous time to live.

A short distance from the Cathedral, directly in the center of Durham, is the outstanding Assembly Rooms Theatre. It has many performances throughout the year that are often hosted by shows that are touring the nation, presenting both plays and an assortment of unique works. In looking at the building, you can see that it was once a ballroom, designed for entertainment, for the population that lived in Durham many years ago.
