The Rose Window is one of Durham Cathedral’s most distinctive — and breathtaking! — features.

Supported by a series of giant stone pillars, which are 6.6 metres
round and 6.6 metres high, the nave’s vaulted stone ceiling towers 22
metres overhead and stretches nearly 150 metres long — a particularly
impressive sight considering it was built over 1,000 years ago!
