If you have an hour or two to spare and you would like an uplifting experience, take a wander round this cathedral. Set amid manicured lawns and abundant floral displays Chichester Cathedral is a fine example of 900 years of additions to the original building. Parts of the structure have been extensively renovated, and the works continue.

Chichester Cathedral has architecture in both the Norman and the Gothic styles, and has been called "the most typical English Cathedral". Despite this, Chichester has two architectural features that are unique among England's medieval cathedrals- a free-standing medieval bell tower (or campanile) and double aisles. The cathedral contains two rare medieval sculptures, and many modern art works including tapestries, stained glass and sculpture.

No matter what the season a visit to Chichester is rewarding. Not as grand as Salisbury or Winchester, the visitor escapes the commercial pressures applied by these two grander establishments.
