Unfortunately, photography is not welcome inside the cathedral itself [although fair enough], so I can't show you the internal architecture, the whispering wall, the walk up to the tower on narrow steps and with low ceilings or the crypt [you'll just have to go and see yourself!], so I've selected a range of the external shots which might help to give you an idea of the size and presence of this building.
In my next post, I'll show you the view of from outside on the tower/ dome walkway. Impressive!
It is almost hard to believe that such an impressive structure was not only built 100's of years ago, but that it is still standing, is fit for purpose, and you have a great deal of freedom to explore parts of it. Thankfully, the Brits appear to have a substantially more sensible approach to health and safety than we do in New Zealand - if the Brits were to adopt our model, they'd have to instantly shut down most of the access to this building... and perhaps to many other buildings and in fact towns more than 50 - 100 years old! Three cheers for common sense!

And yet, they will not let you have a lightswitch in a bathroom.
Yeah... weird! What's up with that?
I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek, but still - they really would have to close down half og the UK if they imposed the same [overdone] standards as in NZ.
