It has beautiful architecture and stained-glass windows, as well as a little coffee shop where you can enjoy refreshments. There is also an important artwork featured in the cathedral, in the form of a sculpture and stained-glass window, to mark the 75th anniversary of the SAS.

A beautifully old building featuring art by locally born artists, this museum and gallery has been open since 1847. In 2005, it became the first museum in the UK to invest in the Talking Tactile Tablet for those who experience difficulty in seeing.
