We heard an incredible organ recital in the late afternoon :-)

I've visited the FREE gardens around the cathedral many times and in all seasons, and they are beautiful. The Abbey ruins are a reminder that we are a short moment in history.

It's fascinating to have known the cathedral as a huge but stunted church and to have watched its transformation into the most striking building in the county that is now such a delight from so many vantage points in and around the town.

We loved how beautifully reconstructed the Cathedral was. A lot of work and money has gone into making it so beautiful. We were very surprised that they do not charge an admission fee! The staff were very helpful and friendly and very knowledgeable, and told us about the history of the Cathedral, when we just happened to be reading something...

This cathedral is weirdly clean and neat, which makes it a little soulless in my opinion.

This has got to be one of the best cathedrals, ever. The achitecture is wonderful, and the new tower as seen by Prince Charles, is magnificent. It is a very serene place

The quality of the 21st century workmanship alongside the historic building. No restrictions on flash-free photography, makes a fabulous HDR image. The choir were rehearsing which made the visit perfect. It was so peaceful & has loads of history. Leave enough time to study the history of the original building, then take a walk around the old boundary

Visited in April. This is a beautiful building, pick a day with some sun, the best feature of the interior is the way it is lit, more stained glass than I've ever seen in one place, even if church's do little for you then this one is worth a visit. The surrounding gardens are v formal and v well kept.

A beautiful cathedral, we were surprised at how new a lot of it was. The church was originally built in the 12th century, much of what is seen today was buil in the 19th century. Next to the Abbey Gardens and the ruins of Bury St Edmunds abbey, which are also excellent.
