United Kingdom

There are over 100 cathedrals and abbeys in the UK and we’ve been lucky enough to see a lot of them. There’s a list in Wikipedia.

Fall is a good time. Spring and fall lessens the crowds.

Westminster, Yorkminster, Durham, Bath, Salisbury, Wells, Glastonbury, Ely are a few of our favorites. In a chapel in St Paul’s there’s a book of all the American airmen killed in the 8th Air Force in WWII. Their names are handwritten and they turn the page every day.

Canterbury was a disappointment.

We’ve never stayed in Gloucester as we prefer to drive ourselves and smaller towns and villages make for easier ingress and egress. The Cotswolds is close to Gloucester and a good alternative. Stow in the Wold is our favorite.

No matter which ones you choose, be sure to attend Evensong when available as they have a choir.

Hope this helps. Enjoy and cheers!
