Some of the arches and most of the vaults look like they're Gothic, not Romanesque. There are flying buttresses, but they are hidden under roofs. This is a fine example of the transitional style, proving that Gothic was a native Northern European invention and not an import from the East.

I adore Durham - so beautiful and so much to see and do throughout the year with many festivals etc. It is my faviourite UK city which is why I moved there! I was rightfully the first place/location in the UK to get UNESCO World Heritage Status.

I know, it doesn't seem like sitting on anyone's burial spot is good. especially when it's a piece of centuries-old stonework with artistic and historic value even if one isn't into religion.

Thank you, Rick. Perfect timing for me to receive this gift. What a wonderful cathedral and I enjoyed the clergyman. He had such a warm way of sharing his knowledge.

Forgot to mention the amazing Chinese Buffet! Inshanghai. Best on in the County in my opinion. Not as good as Chinese Buffets in Germany though.
