A few minutes from the town centre, this is the only complete medieval street left in England, and what's more it's still lived in. It was originally built to house the men of the Vicar's Choral who sang daily worship in the cathedral. You must see it - the cobbled street lined with quirky cottages with tall chimneys is an absolute delight.
