There are several exposicions in the lateral chapels about construction technics, history of the different kings involved....they also have free brochures in different languages to guide you trough the place. Not too crowded when i visited. Be sure to make a right once you exit walk a little bit to the river to enjoy the views. · via Google [Thomas Bloom](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100350057901138376352/reviews) ★★★★★ Absolutely stunning chapel . Definitely worth a visit if you are in town . At £17 for a 10-15 minute walk does seem steep but hey if it keeps the building perfectly preserved then it's no bad thing. Aside from the fascinating religious and architectural aspect it also has lots of rooms filled with information about related monarchs And English history. surrounding the chapel. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x47d870bb7b0a70af:0xf7deaa870baa6a79!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this chapel features stunning Gothic architecture, including a magnificent fan-vaulted ceiling and beautiful stained-glass windows.
