Though not the most beautiful cathedral I have visited, it is steeped in history and has a wonderful collection of silver and gold artefacts and ancient books.

The Burne Jones windows were particularly beautiful. If you turn you back on them and look at the glass into the Cathedral it gives the appearance of one of them floating in the air.
