Walk from the castle to the cathedral and just after the library on the right hand side there is a cut which takes you along the river to the old bridge . Loop back round up the bailey

Stunning architecture - one of the finest remaining examples of a Norman building. An extremely unique and interesting history - tour guides are very knowledgeable .

Costas Lazarides

Beautiful with everyone being polite to show you around and explain the history and every corner of the cathedral . It is surrounded by medieval buildings used for uni offices and student accommodation

Elias Gerstmayr

Great view and must-visit when in Durham. World heritage site . The university orchestra performs there from time to time, impressive! Check out the cloisters from Harry Potter .

Durham Cathedral's cloisters were used in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) for scenes including the standoff between Gryffindor and Slitherin's Quidditch and between Harry and Lucius.

The cloisters in the North-East of the cathedral were used throughout Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) for their gothic corridors and Hogwart 's-style quad.

Beautiful building inside and out. Definitely climb to the top and admire the view but don't forget to check out the Lego cathedral by the cafe !

World heritage site . Incredible attraction to visit. Climb the tower (you have to pay) and take in some good views . Cafe is also great.

No photos allowed. This is the first time this has ever happened to me at any Cathedral I've visited worldwide. It is free entry but I would have gladly paid for a permit to shoot.

Durham Cathedral has been featured in the Harry Potter films as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where it had a spire digitally added onto the top of the famous towers .

Crow jewel of Durham, you have to pay to climb the stairs to the top but well worth it you will be able to see the whole of Durham City

Jacqueline Chan

Don’t miss the LEGO version of the cathedral . The details are simply stunning

Spectacular building and well worth climbing the 395 steps to the top.

Help build a massive scale model of the cathedral on Lego! Find it in the undercroft, between the shop and the restaurant . Open until 4pm every day

Check out the LEGO model by the shop and restaurant ! It's built by the public!

World Heritage Site . Even though it is not done everytime, join the free tours if you could find one.

Moira Fogarty

Climb the tower ! It costs £5, but you need proper shoes (no heels or flip-flops) - only open between 10am and 4pm, great view but be prepared for claustrophobia :)
