I particularly enjoyed a quite moment in the cloister, which was like stepping back in time. There was such a sense of tranquility.
We had our lunch in the cathedral's own Cafe, which was extremely tasty and very good value. After lunch we went to the Castle, where we learned about the prison and took a stroll around the castle walls, including up the observatory tower. As someone who really doesn't like heights I was quite proud of myself! With the weather as it was the views were not at their best, but quite atmospheric, with the main Cathedral tower disappearing into the mist. The tower on the right looks all blurry and out of focus. It's sending my eyes all wierd!
We had an hour at the museum and rounded the day off with tea and cakes in a tea room on Steep Hill. Very Nice!

ReplyDeleteThe carvings are wonderful, aren't they?
Dull and damp is probably the best when photographing the carvings though!!!
