St John&#8217;s Co Cathedral is opulent and magnificent but due to enormous crowds it&#8217;s dificult to fully appreciate. Upon arrival we go straight through to the groups line\u00a0but their\u00a0attitude of just turn up means you arrive the same time as other large groups, all of whom seem to want to wander around together with one guide.

A lack of signage to tell you what each room was about and an armoury tha housed an incredible collection of armour, interesting if you like armour. Exceedingly dull if you don&#8217;t! The stone cannon balls were duly noted by one Scout as being surely unique in cannon ball history. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><\/span>\u00a0<span
