Been there | Tips http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. St Anne's Church http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34712 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34712 St Francis Church http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34632 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34632 Cirencester (Cotswold Town) http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28807 The one thing that stands out about Cirencester however, is the Church of St John the Baptist, which is more like a cathederal than a church and dominates the skyline on your approach to the town.
With the Roman Amphitheatre and the white Cotswold stone buildings, Cirencester is a town well worth a visit and a good base for exploring the Cotswolds.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28807 The Priory Church of Saint Bartholomew the Great http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28316 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28316 St. Paul's Cathedral http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27883 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27883 St Sophia Greek Orthodox cathedral http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27805 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/27805 Peterskirche http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26705 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26705 St Conan's Kirk http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26123 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26123 St Paul's Chapel http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25986
Since it was only across the road from the Twin Towers, this chapel was used by the rescue workers as a place of respite. A lot of displays relate to the 9/11 period and are moving reminders of what happened that day. This was the church on whose railings people pinned photos of loved ones missing in the days following the terrorist attack.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25986 St Patrick's Cathedral http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25984 Perfect to get away from the hustle and bustle of 5th Avenue. Seen famous funerals in past such as Robert Kennedy's.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25984 Seeing the Shroud at Turin Cathedral in 2010 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25681 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25681 Sant Vicenç http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25211 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25211 Sant Pere church http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25210 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25210 Santa María cathedral http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25165 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25165 The village of Taybeh http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24872
Taybeh has three churches, a brewery and a ruined Crusader church.

The Crusader church is built high and gives long views over the rolling hills around.

The brewery welcomes visitors, has a small shop and will show you a video of how come there's a brewery making modern beer in Palestine.

Drink Palestinian!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24872 Tea at St Peter & St Paul http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24018 www.missendenchurch.org.uk]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24018 Beauvais Cathedral (St Pierre) http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23481
The chunk which was built measures 72m long and nearly 50m high. The choir alone is 37m long, and when you stand inside gazing upward you grasp the enormous scale of the existing building and sense what might have been.

The builders had terribly bad luck (or weren't very good) because right from the start bits kept falling down, and the 153m high spire collapsed in 1573.

Beauvais centre was destroyed by incendiary bombing when the Germans invaded in 1940 and consequently lacks any old buildings. But the cathedral survived and is well worth visiting. The modern town has attractively laid out streets and squares, with many good places to eat and drink. Fans of French cathedrals could see Beauvais, Amiens and Rouen easily over a couple of days. All three (cathedrals, not fans - there must be more than that surely) are extraordinary and beautiful.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23481 Church http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23176 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23176 A drink with a view from the castle overlooking Zante town http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22802
There's a beautiful little church there which isn't always open, but if it is take a look inside at the gilding and chandeliers - it's a favourite for weddings and christenings.

You can also climb the cobbled lane up to visit the stone Venetian fortress perched on the hill. There's a rather trendy nightclub on the way up if you want to mix with the beautiful people.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22802 Chora Church / Kariye Muzesi http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22127 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22127
