Need some advice re: a cathedral tour of England [View all]

I'm going to concentrate on the south midlands area. These are the cathedrals I'm interested in: Peterborough, Leicester, Lichfield Hereford and Gloucester. Maybe add Southwell, Derby and Worcester. I'm thinking it might make sense to stay in Gloucester and do day trips via rail? Or maybe stay in Gloucester for 1/2 the time and Leicester for 1/2 the time?

Any thoughts?

We'll probably go in the early Fall.

I don't know, but it sounds like a cool trip. Let us know what you decide and how it goes. Scrivener7 May 2024 #1

If you'd like to venture outside England for a break (which isn't a major trip), you could go to St Davids in Wales Emrys May 2024 #10
