What to expect
Your guide meets you at the cathedral entrance and leads you through the nave, stopping at key artworks and architectural features. Expect steady walking on even stone floors with occasional steps; your guide will point out sightlines, symmetry and the layered history visible in the stonework. You'll spend time in the main chapel area and key side chapels, learning how donations and royal patronage shaped what you're seeing. The pace is unhurried—this isn't a sprint. Bring water; the interior stays cool year-round.
