I must confess that I have not actually been inside this stunning church but I have taken many photos of it. The architecture and surrounding gardens are just beautiful and even as I've wandered around outside there is a feeling of peace and tranquility. The various statues throughout the grounds are incredible.

whether religious or not, St Pats offers a rest from the noise and bustle outside, a place to cool down on a hot day or just a place to rest your feet and have a ponder.

Beautiful from the outside but even better once you step inside. The light from the wonderful stained glass windows take you to another world. If you visit you must walk all the way around, including behind the central alter. Take your time and you will enjoy the experience.

Beautiful, atmospheric, calm place to visit. Set in a perfect location that somehow shuts the busy city on its doorstep away, this magnificent cathedral is joyful and devout but accessible and enveloping all at the same time.
