Advantages: Wonderful view from spire, interesting decor, great central location near other sites, free Disadvantages: Quite busy
Christchurch is my favourite city in New Zealand. It is modern and happening, whilst still retaining a very refined and serene atmosphere, with its willow-banked river creeping through the city centre, benches in small gardens for people to pass time on, and lovely old buildings.
The centrepiece of Christchurch would have to be its gothic-style cathedral. It is located in the attractively cobbled Cathedral Square, which is packed with people enjoying street performers, including jugglers and the famous Wizard of Christchurch, an official living monument who is a site in himself, preaching on all kinds of topics from a step ladder, tourists playing giant chess, marketstalls, baton twirlers, choirs, sculptures, cafes and bars. And there is no better place to watch all this going on that from the top of the cathedral spire.

Advantages: Well it is a musical. Disadvantages: If you don't like musicals you won't enjoy this
CAMELOT
I own an extensive collection of musicals, well all kinds of movies really, but I tend to review my musicals more than anything else.

Advantages: Beautiful cathedral and friendly guides Disadvantages: None
On a recent short break to Ripon in North Yorkshire, and having a liking for cathedrals as I do, I took the time to visit Ripon Cathedral with my partner.
Located just five minutes walk from the market square area of Ripon town centre, the cathedral is very easy to reach. There is also a car park a couple of minutes walk from the cathedral.

A LITTLE HISTORY

The Cathedral building itself began in the 7th century when St Wilfrid built one of England's first stone churches on the site.
St Wilfrid was educated at Lindisfarne and then travelled to Rome in 652. On his return, he became abbot of a Benedictine monastery and built a church in Ripon. The crypt of the church is ...
