Decided to pay a visit to Guildford Cathedral today. Wasn't quite sure how to get there, so I pulled up their website on my phone: http://www.guildford-cathedral.org/visiting/directions
It provides directions for 'Road', 'Rail' and 'Bus'. It also notes "There is ample free parking for coaches and cars at the Cathedral."
The road directions don't sound terribly appealing on a bicycle, mentioning taking the A3 (70mph dual carriageway), so I call them to ask about how to get there by bike. They didn't know. Do you have any bike parking? 'No.'
The cathedral is on top of a steep hill with indeed acres of free parking, and no cycle facilities whatsoever. The Church of England likes to proclaim its green and Fairtrade credentials yet they are promoting dependency on oil-powered motor vehicles. Bikes don't even exist as far as Guildford Cathedral is concerned.
