Beautiful church with an incredible history. The fee is £12.00 per adult which is fairly expensive to pay to visit a church and not quite in the spirit of things.

Vanessa Rueda

If you're into churches , even if you're not religious, this is your place. Big, plenty of weird and historical objects and spaces including a garden and plenty of tour guides.

Olive Logie

A must see for tourists & locals. Steeped in fascinating British history w/ beautiful & sprawling grounds. Closes at 2pm Sunday. Go to the choral service at 3:15pm Sun for the cultural experience.

Did you know? The oldest part of the building has rounded arches & small windows, whereas the latter extensions has pointy arches and big windows

Beautiful cathedral with masterpiece stained glass windows . Admission is £12 for a year valid ticket (don't forget to say that you want one).

The cathedral feels so old and very reminiscent of Westminster Abbey. The audio guide is completely unhelpful when nothing is marked in the cathedral to match the guide.

Alex Curiel

Main cathedral of the Anglican Church . Stunning building that dominates the little city .

Beautiful cathedral ! A masterpiece!

Explore the Crypt & look for the ghostly silhouette of a monk on one of the pillars. See where Sir Thomas Becket was decapitated and brave the corridor of the White Lady... Then have a picnic outside! Read more
