Stunning photos showcase Truro Cathedral like you've never seen it before

When people think of Cornwall views they likely imagine rugged coastlines and gorgeous blue seas.

But there's a new entry for 'best view' in the county - the one from Truro Cathedral.

The city's cathedral tower used to be sealed off to the masses but its chief operating officer Sean O'Neil loved exploring it so much, he's opened it up for all to see.

From the spring to the autumn, the cathedral has offered guided tours of the 185ft tower with those who signed up being treated for beautiful views both inside and outside of the cathedral.
