Durham Cathedral Magna Carta Exhibition

Thanks Stuart! I ordered our Cathedral tour tickets already. Will now add on the tickets to this exhibition. We will not be there for one of the available Secret tour dates, but can’t wait to see the exhibition!

Whilst Durham Cathedral do not charge admission to the Cathedral they strongly encourage a voluntary £5 per person contribution.

Oh wow! That would be cool!

I'm all for that (and I paid it when I was there). Those incredible places need our financial help. And I wish I was going to be there to see the exhibit—how fascinating!

Thanks for sharing this valuable information about Durham Cathedral. At first, I never knew about this place till you mentioned it.
RS book does not mention this place. I strongly recommend that it should be included. It looks damn beautiful and stunning.

I googled and find that travelling to Durham Cathedral by LNER train takes 2 hours from Edinburgh and 3 hours from London.

If you can't make those dates for Durham, Lincoln Castle has a permanent display of an original 1215 Magna Carta, a 1217 Charter of the Forest and a 1225 Charter of the Forest.

It is a shame that the Lincoln Castle website gives no attention to accessibility and possible obstacles. Doesn't even mention access.

Can you have a word in their shell-like please, wasleys

It looks damn beautiful and stunning.

Bridgette, it is absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend it. The city of Durham is very interesting as well, and you could easily make a day of seeing the area. It's so lovely up there!

wasleys, I had no idea! One more reason to visit Lincolnshire! :-)

Nigel, check out their accessibility link here...

thanks for the link.

Once you start looking at tickets there is no way back to the main page with the accessibility link in a small font.

I'm pretty good at sussing them out - thanks for that which was completely not found by me.

And not to whinge but putting the page in question in a very thin and unusual font, in a small point size shows a bit of not thinking of visually impaired folks.

Nevertheless it appears that some steps have been taken to aid in accessibility. Shame about the out of service lift.

I don't believe I've ever been to Lincoln Castle, as my focus when I used to visit Lincoln was the waterways of the County.
I'm due down to Lincoln Cathedral for a very special Evensong service sometime in August.
I know it's happening, just not when.
But that's a day trip from Cumbria - so I won't have time for anything else while I'm there. Straight back home after the service.

Nigel, I googled Lincoln Castle Accessibility and the link came up straight away. I often find that easier than trawling through a website to find the information...

Regarding Durham Cathedral, a previous poster said, "RS book does not mention this place. I strongly recommend that it should be included. It looks damn beautiful and stunning." The cathedral is covered extensively in the Rick Steves England guidebook.
