Durham and York

Why not combine your pilgrimage to the Holy Island with a visit to York and Durham. The religious connections between Durham and Lindisfarne are historically significant, and in Durham you will have the opportunity to see the Shrine of St Cuthbert. As for York, the Minster here is the largest Gothic Cathedral in Northern Europe, a building of glorious medieval architectural achievement with one of the finest collections of stained glass in existence as well as some superb tapestries.
