The Great Survivor Tour

Walk the outline of St Albans Cathedral in the company of one of our experienced guides.

Stand on the hillside where Alban, Britain’s First Saint, was martyred and discover how Alban’s church has survived revolt, collapse and decay.

Hear the stories of the communities and people who have loved and saved it over the centuries – monks, martyrs, parishioners, Victorian restorers, royals and archbishops.

See how the Cathedral continues to grow and change into the 21st century.
