A Durham angle on Christmas gifts
Durham Cathedral was begun in 1093 to house the shrine of St Cuthbert, whose community had carried his body around the North for over a century after leaving Lindisfarne. With the castle, it has been a World Heritage Site since 1986, and it also holds the tomb of the Venerable Bede.
Durham's cathedral towers make a dramatic frame for the moon. For dark skies, Northumberland's Dark Sky Park lies to the north and the North Pennines to the west. For a stargazer, moon-phase decor, zodiac pieces or a star-sign stone suit the long December nights.
Ideas for Durham students: tarot decks, candles and study-desk crystals such as fluorite.
Tradition says Cuthbert's community found their resting place by following a woman searching for her lost dun cow to a peninsula called Dun Holm. A carving of the milkmaid and cow is on the cathedral's north-west side.
Visiting over the holidays
- Entry to the cathedral is free, with donations welcome; tower climbs are ticketed.
- Look for the dark polished columns in the Galilee Chapel and elsewhere: they are Frosterley marble, a fossil-rich limestone from Weardale.
- For dark skies, the North Pennines and Northumberland are both within an hour.
