The beautiful St Albans Cathedral near London on a beautiful Autumn Day in 2014

A wonderful piece of Architecture with a deep rooted history.
St. Albans is literally half Norman & half Gothic architecture and is a mesmerising learning experience in the differences between them all in one view.  The grounds themselves are also spectacular and a brief 15 minute walk from the St. Albans station. #green
I was here in 2007.  If you like history and architecture, St Alban's is a great day out fro London, or a stop on a road trip.  An old Roman town with ruins and cathedrals, the old roman theatre is located on the Gorhambury Estate - website below for more information.

A small, sweet church between the roman ruins and the cathedral.  The walk is mostly through park lands.

Stayed in a superior twin room on the 5th floor, which was clean and comfortable, with a walk-in shower (important because I have mobility issues). It was on the small side but not cramped. The decor seemed to be fairly new and in good shape, of a dark gray neutral sort. Staff on check-in were friendly, ...
