Notable buildings and structures in the town are the Bishop's Palace, the Town Hall and a Victorian Railway Viaduct. Escomb Saxon Church and Binchester Roman Fort are also close by.

The Bishop's palace, often also known as Auckland Castle, is the official residence of the Bishop of Durham. It is surrounded by a large and beautiful park that was originally used by the Bishops for hunting. Part of the building was called 'Scotland' because it was used to house Scottish prisoners. Lewis Carroll sets his story 'A Legend of Scotland' here.
