Worcester Cathedral
About
Worcester Cathedral stands majestically on the banks of the River Severn, overlooking the historic city centre. Built between 1084 and 1400, its architecture showcases a remarkable blend of Norman, Early English, and Gothic styles, with stunning medieval cloisters, Victorian stained glass, and spectacular stone carvings. Visitors can explore the kingly burial sites of King John and Prince Arthur, wander through the ancient Norman Crypt, and view the intricate misericords that adorn the nave. A unique Tower climb offers adventurous visitors the chance to ascend 235 stone steps to enjoy panoramic views of Worcester and the surrounding countryside. With free admission and a recommended donation of £7 per adult, the Cathedral provides a welcoming and educational experience for families, history enthusiasts, and art lovers alike.
