Durham Castle and Cathedral World Heritage Site occupies a dramatic location dominating the River Wear in North East England. UNESCO inscribed the site on the World Heritage List in 1986 for its significance to the whole of humanity. Today it is owned and managed by Durham Cathedral, Durham University, Durham County Council and St John’s College. It’s a busy place where people live, study, work and worship.
