Ripon is one of England's oldest cities, home to a majestic cathedral and the Hornblower who has blown his horn at 9pm every night for 1100 years to 'set the watch'. Georgian and medieval buildings surround the ancient market place. The Tourist Information Centre is found opposite the cathedral entrance.
