Overview

Step inside one of the world’s greatest Norman buildings, a fortress-church born from a legendary journey, and unlock its fascinating stories on this self-guided audio tour of Durham Cathedral.

Your journey begins outside with the charming legend of the Dun Cow, which led monks to this very spot. Next, we pause at the North Door to uncover the life-or-death secrets of the famous Sanctuary Knocker. Know more about the incredible story of St. Cuthbert followers.

Inside, discover the awe-inspiring 'forest of stone' and marvel at the revolutionary pointed arches that changed architecture forever. Learn about the powerful Prince-Bishops who ruled the north and visit the tomb of the Venerable Bede, the father of English history. The climax of your tour is the sacred Shrine of St. Cuthbert—the very reason this magnificent cathedral was built.

Whether you’re a history buff or simply curious about England's past, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for this iconic landmark.
