The Experience
What your day looks like
The Prince Bishops of Durham were incredibly powerful lords and religious leaders in the North of England during the Middle Ages. They wielded the power of both secular lords and medieval bishops being able to rival monarchs at points in their power. It was often joked during the Middle Ages that there were two kings in England one sat in London wearing a crown while the other sat in Durham wearing a mitre. During this tour, we will explore the UNESCO world heritage site, Durham Cathedral. From there we will have lunch before proceeding to Auckland Castle now famous for the internationally acclaimed Auckland Project. Here you will explore Auckland Castle and the Faith Museum, telling the story of Christianity in the British Isles.
