    Super castle but it is used as student accommodation so you need to get a tour. Tour guide was excellent but you only get to see a few rooms so you can't walk around or anything

    Durham Castle is a Norman castle in the city of Durham, England, which has been fully occupied since 1840 by University College, Durham. It is open to the general public, but only through guided tours, since it is working as a work building and houses more than 300 students. The castle sits on top of a hill above the River Wear on the Durham Peninsula, opposite Durham Cathedral. The feeling of being in a historic place and at the same time full of life was fantastic.

    It’s a wonderful historical well looked after site… it’s worth a visit. You pay a 5 pound tour with a tour guide… ours was a Masters student who was truly very knowledgable and was able to answer all my questions…the tour was so interesting! Go for it! It’s worth a visit
