These range from the Oriental museum, which is Britain’s only museum dedicated to the eastern arts and antiques, to the Botanic Garden that holds some of the most interesting global trees and plants.  The University has a major sporting impact on the city, with the likes of rowing and cricket being the most notable sports. The River Wear provides some 1800m of rowing space for both the Durham College Rowing and Durham University Boat Club, as well as the city’s Amateur Rowing Club that is one of the oldest clubs in the country.

Another fine form of Norman architecture is the Durham Cathedral, which dates back to 1093.
