Comments
'The building is exceptional with lots to see and to engage the visitor. There are a number of significant historic tombs and the stained glass is exceptional. I found the glass work in the cloister particularly interesting'.
'The welcome warm and friendly without being over intrusive. The self-guided tour is very good and enhances the visit. There is a small gift shop and a lovely little cafe in the cloister'.

'Always something going on inside the cathedral. My young children love walking around seeing it all. They always ask to come back. It's lovely at Christmas with all the Christmas tree displays and sometimes I'm lucky to catch a local charity event'.
'What a wonderful cathedral, so beautiful and so lovingly kept. Particularly impressed by the knowledge and friendliness of the volunteers that work there. Clearly passionate about their cathedral and justly so! How refreshing that there was no charge to walk around this magnificent building.... well worth leaving a donation though'!
