点评:I visited the Abbey with my husband who is a wheelchair user and therefore my ticket was free of charge due to being my husband’s carer and his ticket full adult price. The Abbey is breathtaking, the fan vaulted ceiling is fantastic and really makes the visit worth it. Although no longer a Cathedral it is easy to see why it once was. It is very grand and still has a cathedral feel. The whole Abbey is wheelchair accessible with a lift to the small museum in the basement which is very interesting.
There is space to sit in quiet and contemplate, pray in solitude, light a candle or sit in the nave and take in the grandness of the building. The stained glass is really something to behold, and it’s so nice going just before Easter with the stations of the cross on display. The building has a lovely atmosphere of peace and calm. As a tourist visitor it is beautiful and historical. As a spiritual visitor there is an atmosphere of being close to God.
I would thoroughly recommend a visit, even if just to take in that ceiling.

教堂内有可以静静坐着沉思冥想、独自祈祷、点燃蜡烛或坐在中殿欣赏建筑宏伟的空间。彩色玻璃窗更是令人叹为观止,在复活节前夕参观,还能看到苦路十四站的展示,真是别有一番滋味。教堂内弥漫着宁静祥和的氛围。作为游客,这里风景优美,历史悠久;作为虔诚的信徒,这里则让人感受到与上帝的亲近。
我强烈推荐大家来此参观,即使只是为了欣赏那令人惊艳的拱顶。
