Durham is roughly 60 miles north of York, straight up the A1 or, by rail, two main railway stops up the east coast main line (the one in between is Darlington, there are smaller stations in between at Thirsk, Northallerton and Ferryhill).
The cathedral stands on a hill in a meander in the River Wear and is clearly visible as you approach the city, both by road and rail.
It is one of the finest Medieval catherdrals in the world.
