Tourist Information on Southwell

Southwell is England's smallest cathedral city.

The parish church of St Mary the Virgin, containing some of the finest medieval stone carving in country, became Southwell Cathedral in 1884.

A prosperous market town, Southwell boasts many fine Regency houses but its greatest treasure is the Minster, visible for some 20 miles across the Trent Valley.

Just outside the town is 19th century Workhouse, restored by the National Trust and now a facinating museum.

Nearby attractions include the Upton Hall Time Museum and the Bramley Apple Exhibition.

Southwell has a Tourist Information Centre
