Durham cathedral is magnificent but they should have built it further down (or is that up) river. Next to Claxheugh Rock would have been the perfect location.
They missed a trick them Normans
 


Aye it looks great but you can walk round it in 5 minutes. There is nothing interesting in there.


None of which interests me. Stained glass is not "fascinating" at all. It's just glass painted that anyone could do.


Really?

You would suggest going to Vinderlander or Durham Cathedral on a lads day out? :lol:

Fair enough, you did list initially a list of "shite visitor attractions" nowt about a lads day out. Alton Towers more your style?

Conveniently left 'or family' off that sentence there mate!
 
I'm pleased there's a few people putting the op right about Durham Cathedral, it's without a doubt one of the best buildings on earth.

I will hoy in Beamish as a shite visitor attraction though, I can understand why people like it and that's fair enough but it does nothing for me. Very limited displays, too much locked away that you can't see and not enough variety over the course of a year.
 
But you know about it and so do many others, that was the idea behind it.
eh? so what? I don't want to know about it - and I don't find it attractive - I also know about the Eiffel Tower and Whitley Bay - neither of which I would want to visit- I always thought the whole point of a visitor attraction was to attract visitors - ???Yes/No?

But, you know about it even though you don't want to know about it, that is its reason for being, to bring attention to the north east. It's an icon already. Just as the Tyne Bridge is recognised elsewhere so is the Angel of the North. Now, I'm not for one moment saying that I like it but..............................it's there and it's noticed. It's not so much an attraction as an icon for the north east, others might argue that point.
