Description

It best preserved Magna Carta.  This cathedral is without a doubt one of the finest cathedrals in the United Kingdom. It has Britain’s tallest spire, the world’s oldest working clock, and the finest of four original 1215 Magna Carta manuscripts.  Built in just 38 years, it is unusual because it is almost entirely in one unique architectural style, early English Gothic- it truly is a medieval masterpiece. Enjoy a picnic in open green spaces and admire the historic houses that surround the Cathedral. What a fantastic place- a truly uplifting experience. Allow 1-2 hours to make the most of your visit and up to 3 if you are doing a tower tour.
