Bristol Cathedral

We walked in on spec on a filthy day and found ourselves in a beautiful, light and tranquil place.
When we showed interest, one of the friendly guides gave us a brief and perfectly-judged run-down of the key features of the ancient building and left us to roam.

Remarkable features are the side isle vaults being equal in height to that of the nave, and the superb chapter house.

What a glorious heritage the British cathedrals constitute! Bristol, new to us, is perhaps an underrated example.

The British tradition of highly trained, amateur (i.e. 'for the love of it') cathedral guides is surely a source of the national pride we need so much at this terrible time.

A sprawling wonder in the heart of Bristol city. With so much to see inside this Cathedral, it's very helpful that you are given a map upon entering to find your way around. On top of some stunning architecture, there is a lovely garden there too with benches that are perfect for just sitting and taking in the peaceful atmosphere.

What a truly beautiful building. We received a warm welcome and very much enjoyed exploring. Definitely a very special cathedral, steeped in history.

After walking in Bristol City it was nice way to finish my day at the Bristol cathedral.The Cathedral is located by College Green which on the day I have visited it was packed with people enjoying the good weather.The Cathedral provides maps which it was helpful to get to know a lot of the history and what to look at.

Bristol Cathedral is a must sign seen in Bristol. The good thing is that it is for free, and when you go on there, you can you have a walk in Harbourside,and the amazing garden just in front of the church. Moreover, back to the Cathedral, if you're luck you can hear the amazing music group, with a stunning organ as big as the church's wall. God bless the place, and preserve its influence in town.

A beautiful cathedral with stunning architecture!! Unfortunately I was too late to go inside and look round, but will make a point of doing so next time I’m here. Lots of open grassy areas at the front of the cathedral where people sit and congregate. Definitely worth a look.

A truly astonishing building. Real history here and such a well preserved monument. Dating back to 1200 this former Medieval building has been restored and added to over the centuries.

It's free and open to the public and there is a lot of information available both in small plaques and in a booklet.

As you walk around you get a real sense of history and grandeur. There are many tombs here of notable figures and it's like walking in a graveyard. The architecture is stunning with huge arches and beautiful stained glass windows.

There are several chambers to explore and you're free to roam. Outside has a huge green which is popular for picnics.

Unfortunately the cafe is closed

This beautiful historic medieval church is definitely worth visiting if you are in Bristol. The features of the gothic architecture is simply stunning and the more you walk around the cathedral, the more history you find out about this grade I listed building.

I lit a candle here, and above this stands a stone called the 'harrowing of hell'. It dates from just before the Norman Conquest, and was discovered under the Chapter House floor after the fire of 1831, where it was being used as a coffin lid. It proves that there was a place of worship on this site in ancient times. Incredible history if you like this type of thing! We saw the cathedral in the day, but we popped back in the evening as they had the light show - something not to be missed.
