Just WOW! This cathedral is stunning, when i rounded the corner for the chapel i gasped, it is absolutely beautiful. This is easily my favourite cathedral and I've been to many. The staff are lovely and welcoming and you know what is refreshing? The gift shop is reasonably priced with lots of beautiful items! Entry to the cathedral is free but you are encouraged to make a donation and its worth every penny. There is parking along side the cathedral and the cathedral is wheelchair accessible mostly. We walked easily from the city centre shopping area.

Just stunning looks Gothic but its not the guide Jan was so knowledgeable. A very special place if your religious or not. Good quality food in the bistro the best full English breakfast I have had in years.

Amazing place to visit. We paid to go into and up the tower and Wow... Was it good. Forget other high vantage points in the city. This one is the Daddy! Two separate lifts journeys and a 100 or so stairs takes you to the top. Open air roof top, excellent on a clear summer's day. Awesome!

Absolutely magnificent building. Took my breath away upon entering. We were there during evensong which was so beautiful. Cafe food was delicious and good portion sizes. Gift shop was good too. We did the tower tour - it was nice but I feel it could do with some information panels. For example: how/where the bell was made and installed; why it’s called Great George; about landmarks you can see from the top of the tower. There really isn’t very much info at all. But the cathedral itself is so magnificent I didn’t dock any stars!

Wow such an impressive building inside as well as out! Large car park at good rates, the cafe is a bistro so bit posh for me but cuppa, baguette then scone and cream was okay. Other tables had the roast which looked yummy. So much to see and notice, easy to spend a few hours walking round. The volunteers\staff are really friendly and knowledgeable, relying on donations. I bought a ticket for the tower in the shop. £7 was great value and it didn't seem like 108 steps as two lifts take you a long way up, and walking up looking down at the still bells makes you think! (I'm from Leeds so I haven't heard them) Staff member up the tower today was great, pointing buildings, areas, answering questions. Such a beautiful day, you can see for miles! Going back the opposite way down, lifts again to the cathedral. Really is worth the climb if you are able...
