The university uniquely combines ancient cathedral surroundings with collegiate structure, using Durham Castle as its original college. Key viewpoints include Durham Castle's Norman architecture now housing University College, the Palace Green between castle and cathedral, the Botanic Garden with its glasshouses, the Oriental Museum's collections, and various college quadrangles.
