| Durham Cathedral |
Durham sits between York and Edinburgh (Scotland) and stands on a bold peninsula of rock almost encircled by the Wear, it’s great cathedral and castle towering above the steep and richly wooded banks. Durham cathedral appeared to be the beacon on the hill in literal sense.

| Bede's World |
We visited Bede’s World- an entire museum about Bede and the history of Durham Cathedral. It was quite interesting. Bede was an archbishop of the Durham cathedral. He was an infamous teacher, historian, and theologian. Bishop Biscop traveled the world and brought back art and books from Rome and other large cities. Bede would study all of the material that was brought back along with the scriptures making himself a learned man. He took it upon himself to teach the people, especially the children. His greatest contribution was translating part of the Bible into English.

| Inside the Mind of Bede himself |
“No one in this life is so wise that his own wisdom cannot increase.”
