Guided tour of Durham

Location of Durham

The Tourist Sights

Durham Cathedral from Palace Green

And from the river

Durham Castle - the imaginatively named Great Hall

Home from home - Collingwood College

H7K, 1998-99. (Decoration suggestion only. Posters/CDs not included as standard, neither is heating)

E7E, 2000-01. (Further advice on decoration: avoid excessive blu-tacking, as all traces of said adhesive must be removed on vacation of the room. Failure to adhere to this shall incur additional cleaning costs on the occupant)

The adjacent botanical gardens. No student picnics!

Collingwood College bar ladies toilets

Home from home 2 - Gilesgate

44 The Moorlands, infamous Gilesgate! Potential residents are advised not to live here unless they enjoy handwashing clothes in the bath (or can operate the prehistoric, presumably now mouldy twintub!)

Beware; or you too could end up with housemates like these...
