Beverley Minster
Highlight • Historical Site
It's a beautiful piece of architecture, often regarded as one of the most stunning Gothic buildings in Europe. Its stained-glass windows are renowned, with some dating back to the 14th century.
I'd highly recommend taking a walk inside the building, which is open between 10am-4pm Monday to Saturday.
