Durham is a dream for those who love research and cutting-edge innovation. ... The university and research park attracts a lot of people and is part of the reason why they end up moving to Durham. The city is also home to many doctors and medical researchers as it's evolved into a global center for medicine.

The name “Durham” comes from the Old English word for hill, “Dun” and the Norse for island, “holme”. ... Taking this as a sign from Saint Cuthbert, the monks followed the milkmaid who guided them to a “wooded hill-island formed by a tight gorge-like meander of the River Wear”, Dun Holm.

Amongst the famous and notable people to come from Durham are former Prime Minister Tony Blair, TV presenter Matt Baker and Music producer Trevor Horn to name just three!
