Rich in history. Easily done in one day. Quite a few empty stores. Per one of the locals “town is dying.”

Crook Hall and Gardens is lovely.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Wonderful manageable city. The Cathedral is a wonder of Romanesque architecture and the riverine setting and walks along the the embankment are tranquil and spectacular. The city is a bit hilly but that ads to its charm.
