Worcester Cathedral, a masterpiece of medieval architecture, stands majestically on the banks of the River Severn. Visitors can explore its Norman crypt, one of the finest in England, and admire the stunning stained glass windows that illuminate the interior. The cathedral is also the final resting place of King John, whose tomb lies before the altar. The peaceful cloisters and the chance to climb the tower for panoramic views complete the experience.
