CATHEDRAL GREEN
Come rain or shine the Cathedral is always a welcoming area. During the summer time the grounds are filled with people relaxing, having a bite to eat or enjoying the grandness of the Cathedral. There is a lot of open ground which is well suited for the various events that are held including the Christmas Market and the Red Coat Tours. Click here for a Google Maps view.
