Bristol Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, is a magnificent example of Gothic architecture dating from the 12th to the 16th centuries. Visitors are struck by the elegant nave, the intricate stone vaulting, and the impressive east window filled with medieval stained glass. The cathedral is a working church, so you can attend a service or simply wander through the cloisters and the tranquil grounds. Highlights include the 14th-century Berkeley Chapel with its rare painted ceiling and the modern Millennium Window. The building's history as an Augustinian abbey adds layers of interest.
