Beautiful uplifting space to visit, you don't have to be religious to benefit from the atmosphere. Evensong and other choral events are worth attending as well as the High Parts Tours.

A good place to visit if you have little ones. Lots of different attractions - the caves are really great and if you are a kid at heart the old fair ground rides/penny slot machines are good fun. There is also a small circus show!
