I spent the first week in England living here with all the rest of the Fulbright scholars and graduate students.  What a place, what a crowd.  This castle is part of Durham University and normally students live here during the term.

When you live in a castle, where do you go for breakfast? Why, to the great hall of course!

And where do you find the best wifi signal?  In the undercroft (below the great hall) ~ note the Romaneque arches,  built by the Normans; also supposedly the oldest public place in England continuously serving alcohol.  Although there may be some controversy about that claim.  This was a great place to go at the end of the day and catch up with email and Skype with family or chat with new friends before climbing the tower to bed.
