York Minster, York

Absolutely majestic, inside and out. The tour was much better than that of other historic locations. The York Minster has more than 50% of all the Medieval stained glass in England. Because of York's location, the historic glass was not destroyed as it was throughout England. Thus, the interior of the Minster was breathtaking. The church bells are beautiful as well and on some nights, they fill the town with their melodic chimes. It is truly the spiritual heart of York.

Visited on a wet and windy morning during Storm Dennis. Perfect place to seek refuge!! First impression was "wow!" Spoke to a very nice young lady (glasses)on the till. She made us feel immediately welcome. She told us there was a free tour starting soon and if we ever wanted to return to the Minster that our tickets were valid for a year. The tour was really interesting. Unfortunately can't remember her name but she said her daughter was in the choir there. Went into the crypt which was a fascinating time capsule of the place. Then went to the shop. Things were a bit pricey but it was nice to look. You cannot visit York without a trip to York Minster!!

Magnificent cathedral and the largest Cathedral in Northern Europe. Just go there and take few pictures. Worth visiting and you have different shops and restaurants nearby such as McDonald, Betty(Afternoon Tea), Five Guys and loads of other local foods restaurants.

Never been to the Minster but can see why it's such a hit with visitors. Informative staff. Incredible artifacts and very contemplative surrounding. The entry ticket is valid for 12 months from date of entry so, keep it in a safe place as you can return many times.

I used to assume that all cathedrals would be the same. Growing up near York meant that I knew no others. As the years have gone by I have visited many of the great European cities and their cathedrals. So far I have not seen a better one. It is truly magnificent and gives the sense of wonder and awe which one should feel in the presence of God.
