If you happen to be anywhere in the area then this is a must-see. It’s magnificent outside and even more inside. So do go in. Ticket prices are as follows:

Adult: £5 Children: Free

Concession: £3

The lady at the till is very nice. We had a family of 5 with 3 adults and she put us down as two. Yeyy!

The Cathedral has tours running every now and then and it is definitively worth waiting for one. We went there on Saturday and the tour was at 12:30. You will find a lot of interesting facts about the Cathedral it self and the period of time in which it was built. For example, before Henry the 8th decided to seperate from the Pope the whole Cathedral was full of colour unlike today when it’s mostly white and creamy.

Also check out the Red Coat Tours organised by the city of Exeter. Most of them meet outside or near the Cathedral and they are interesting and informative. To find out the times of the tours go to this website:

It has details of each tour and at the bottom there is the Summer Program and the Winter Program depending on which season you plan on going. If you click them it will give you the times! Enjoy!!

I have visited the town at least 5 or 6 times and each time I discover something new about it. It has a unique feel to it. Its not just the beautiful architecture ( and it is interesting to note that Oxford has examples of every British Architectural period since the arrival of the Saxons), there is something more to it. I put it down to the atmosphere of the place. When you are there, walking through the city or standing in the catherdal of the christ church college you have this profound feeling of time. You can imagine millions of great minds walking where you are walking now, standing where you are standing now at some point in history.

There is no doubt about it. Visting Oxford is worth every second. Obviously you cannot see everything in one day hence I will definitively be going back there again.
