    Charlotte.

    :D

    Priory Christchurch?

    no.

    This church has hundreds of visitors a day, they all come for one reason.

    To worship?

    Not quite, perhaps adoration but not necessarily of God. :wink:

    I reckon if you take a line across the county from Carlisle on the west to Durham on the east its to the south.

    and you'd be right. I'll narrow it down further and tell you that it's within a 30 mile radius of Birmingham.

    from the clues I can only think of 2 well visited cathederals, worship aside:

    Coventry (and the picture is not Coventry)

    and Hereford for the Mappo Mundi

    we've established it's not a Cathedral, Charlotte.

    I think we have a winner. The church shown holds Will's grave, he was also baptised and married there I believe, and of course it's in Stratford upon Avon.

    NEXT!

    Might do. Circa 2009.... I will be riding that way over the summer at least once hopefully, I love riding around the Kent coast; did two rides Dover-Ramsgate with my Dad last year.

    Years ago I designed a travel guide book for the UK, Dudley Zoo took a full page ad with the headline...Dudley Zoo - the zoo with a difference...after the book went to print the zoo got into financial difficulties and had to sell off all the animals!

    Bare pit! :D

    the Lubetkin architecture, now listed, was a major feature of the zoo, unfortunately now in a ruinous state. I guess it was expensive to maintain as the popularity of zoos declined.
