Because of the fan-vaulted cloisters and the huge East window.
Because of the fan-vaulted cloisters and the huge East window.
Because of the setting high up over the bend in the river, and the massive Norman architecture.
Because of the history.
Because of the 5 sisters window in the North transept and because it was Helen's favourite cathedral. We loved walking round the walls of York.
Because of the harmony of the Early English architecture.
Because of the octagonal lantern created after the Norman central tower collapsed in 1322.
Because of the shape, the form, and the stained glass.
Because of the length.
Because of its setting near the end of St Davids Head in Dyfed (Pembrokeshire) in Wales, and because the nave leans so amazingly due to an earthquake 800 years ago which makes the whole thing seem very unsettling from inside.
