Such a beautiful cathedral with many creative art carving, lots to see and wonder around with a crypt, that was open downstairs. There is a lovely cafe serving cakes & food made to order which was lovely and fresh. You have to see it to believe it. The Cathedral is for wheelchair users also, but not in some parts of the building like the crypt as it up and down stairs. There are ramps in some parts for access. Would definitely recommend a visit.

We had a lovely guided tour up the Worcester cathedral tower today - our guides were awesome, friendly & extremely knowledgeable - a special mention to Glyn what a lovely young man full of enthusiasm & very interesting specialist knowledge about the history of the cathedral, Worcester & the civil war. After 4.5years of living in Worcester I finally went up the tower today - stunning views of our beautiful city 🤩

An excellent visit to the cathedral today. We paid for the guided tour which is well worth the money. If you just wander about you miss so much. Great architecture and oozing with history. The coffee shop is very small and fills up at lunch time.
