Durham local information

Durham’s prestigious University is the third oldest in England, behind Oxford the Cambridge, and brings with it a vast amount of cultural presence. These range from the Oriental museum, which is Britain’s only museum dedicated to the eastern arts and antiques, to the Botanic Garden that holds some of the most interesting global trees and plants.

The University has a major sporting impact on the city, with the likes of rowing and cricket being the most notable sports. The River Wear provides some 1800m of rowing space for both the Durham College Rowing and Durham University Boat Club, as well as the city’s Amateur Rowing Club that is one of the oldest clubs in the country.

Founded in the 18th century, Durham Castle is a tremendous sight and remains Britain’s best preserved Norman strongholds and one of the largest. Another fine form of Norman architecture is the Durham Cathedral, which dates back to 1093. Some well-known figures from Durham include comedian Rowan Atkinson and Tony Blair, who both attended the local Chorister School.
