The town's biggest tourist attraction is undoubtedly the Minster. Indeed '
Southwell Minster' is 'the' Cathedral of Nottinghamshire; the city of Nottingham itself has no Cathedral within its boundaries so Southwell Minster acts as Nottingham's Cathedral and is the only Cathedral in the county of Nottinghamshire.

Although Nottingham itself is a city, Southwell is merely a town (officially); however because of the Minster some consider Southwell to be a city, although it is smaller than both its closest neighbouring 'towns', Newark-on-Trent (Newark), and Mansfield (one of the biggest towns in England). All of Nottinghamshire's Anglican churches are part of the '
Diocese of Southwell'.

Other attractions in Southwell apart from its medieval town buildings are the
racecourse, the '
Workhouse'. Southwell is one of the most affluent towns in Nottinghamshire and houses for sale here command a very high price tag.
