Part 2/12:
Kicking off our list is Durham, a picturesque university city that captivates visitors with its stunning cathedral and medieval charm. Dominating the skyline, the Durham Cathedral, a Norman masterpiece dating back to 1093, is a must-see. Its beautifully preserved interior and unique architecture make it one of England's most impressive historical sites. Interestingly, it also has a connection to America's history, with the Washington family crest located inside the cathedral. When combined with its vibrant pedestrian-friendly city center, Durham offers a delightful mix of history and liveliness.
