The Anglican Liverpool Cathedral looks ancient but was actually completed in 1978, after 74 years in construction. The last of the great British neo-Gothic structures, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's masterwork claims a smattering of superlatives: Britain's largest and the world's fifth-largest cathedral, the world's tallest Gothic arches and the highest and heaviest bells. On a clear day, a trip up the 330-foot tower is rewarded by views to the Welsh hills.
