We popped by here recently and, seeing that there was no entrance fee, we took a brief look inside. The interior of this magnificent building is really impressive. I particularly liked the view down from the nave to the high altar, looking through the ornate archway above which you can find the organ. There are wonderous, delicately carved statues and wooden pieces everywhere. The whole place is so full of history. I wish that I could have stayed longer to study it further.

Please, do go into this huge cathedral and find some very interesting details. The history of the building and surroundings was described on many embroidered cushions (recently made, around 2000, with amazing skill) along the two sides of the church. The choir has exceptionally beautiful wood carvings. But the most fantastic is a crypt where you find a small chapel dating back to 640 AD! (a time when Christianity had not even yet reached, the Netherlands; they had to wait till 750, when Bonifatius arrived and was killed by the barbarian Frisians).

Ripon Cathedral is always welcoming, a friendly F face greets everyone who steps through the magnificent doors. Donations are appreciated but not solicited, you are free to wander around for as long as you wish. If you can manage the steps visit the crypt then there's the Treasury too. As you explore follow the story of the Cathedral and Ripon on the embroidered cushion, what a clever history lesson.

Regular visit to Ripon and always pop over to the cathedral for a little look around. It dominates the town and it would be rude to not have a closer look in order to appreciate the architecture and historical significance of the structure. Wander around the building and soak up the atmosphere. Even those not of s spiritual nature such as myself can still take something away from being close to a building as beautifully built and treasured as Ripon Cathedral

Wow, what can I say except unbelievable! We visited this fabulous cathedral on a damp day in April,but this didn’t take anything away from the sheer splendour of it. It is a must visit, whenever you’re in Ripon.

A well loved centre of worship, Magnificent architecture in a well loved building. its free to visit; as all places of worship should be, but please donate generously as they need the funds. A very special place

Another truly stunning example of an English cathedral. It's a lot more compact and not to the scale of Durham or York, but it is still an exquisite, architectural, treasure. As an atheist I can appreciate the beauty of this building, if not for what it represents.

This is a lovely site and there is not a set entrance fee although we would strongly suggest that all make the suggested donation. It is still very much a living church and volunteers are usually to found working in various ways. There wasn't a tour going on when we visited on this occasion but, if one is available, it is well worth joining in. There are enough quirky details to make it different to other sites. Even the shop has unusual items!

Visiting for the first time for many years it is still an impressive building with so much history. Crypt worth visiting! The tapestried cushions around the whole building give an historical insight into the Cathedral and the events affecting its life in the past, followed by further cushions illustrating the modern life of the city. Entrance is free (a rarity for cathedrals these days) so please make a donation either electronically (with Gift Aid option) or in cash.

A really beautiful cathedral with exquisite details. We were so fortunate to meet Dr Brian Cosse, the cathedral volunteer guide. What he didn't know wasn't worth knowing! A great visit in a peaceful cathedral. Entrance free but contributions welcome.
