Famous cathedrals

One incentive to visit England is to explore the country's various and historic cathedrals. In the center of London, visitors can tour world-famous buildings such as St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. Other noteworthy cathedrals include Salisbury Cathedral in Wiltshire, which has the best surviving copy of the Magna Carta, and Canterbury Cathedral in Kent, which is one of England's oldest cathedrals. Travel to the north of England to see the spectacular Gothic cathedral of York Minster, the biggest Gothic church in Northern Europe with the world's greatest expanse of stained glass.

Or the majestic UNESCO World Heritage Durham Cathedral, which served as the Hogwarts grounds in the Harry Potter films. Visit lesser-known landmarks such as Somerset's Wells Cathedral, Winchester Cathedral, or the stunning Lincoln Cathedral. Visit the spectacular new cathedrals in Liverpool and Coventry as an alternative to traditional, ornately carved stone structures. If you spend a day in Cambridgeshire, you will visit some great architecture.
