Excerpt from Durham Cathedral
Weor ymbeorna?. Wear roundrunneth. Thus does an old Anglian poet indicate in two words the main characteristics of the unrivalled site of Durham. For it is a peninsular elevation with rocky, steep, and wooded sides, faced by similar heights, at the foot of which sweep the waters of the Wear, thus diverted for a short space from the general direction of their onward course. At the top is a level plateau, the crowning glories of which are the Cathedral and the Castle, each almost stretching over the space contained within the loop of the river.
