Have visited the Minster before but as we were staying in Beverley for a few days we had the opportunity to spend longer exploring this wonderful building and its many artifacts. We were lucky to also manage to get tickets to visit the roof of the building where you can see how the it was constructed and its early and more recent areas of renovation. Our guides on the roof tour were Graham and Sue and they were splendid. There was nothing that they didn't know about this building and spent over an hour ensuring that we all had the opportunity to take photographs and ask as many questions as we liked. They were also a hysterical double act!! We could wax lyrical about the Minster itself but there really is only one way to appreciate it and that is to come and see it for yourselves. It has everything you could ask for including great historical items such as the tomb of Henry Percy and great relics including the grave of St John of York. The Guides in the Minster are super too as they point out all the things that you would miss if you were not aware such as the carved Head of Edward I and his wife the stone musicians and the upside down archer. A real delight! No admission, only donation, which is unusual these days, guides that truly are enthusiastic about your visit and a great little shop too. If you're in the area don't miss it!!

This 15th century structure is the last surviving brick built defensive gate surviving in the UK. It’s a major feature in Beverley, not least because of its impact on traffic in the town. It’s an iconic reminder of our less secure past and well seeing.

7. Beverley Westwood

Reviewed By geoffreyb611 - Beverley, United Kingdom
This is common pasture land used by the local community. In summer months animals do inhabit the Westwood and drivers are asked to use care. There is something for everyone except no toilets. When I was young the family use to visit for the day with a picnic and play cricket or just kick a ball around. It also has a golf club on so be careful were you walk. There are trails for kids to run up and down all day long. On weekends and bank holidays in summer there will be Burgess ice cream on sale and on most days a hot dog/burger van who also does healthy salads and teas. I continue to visit to walk the dog a very popular place for that and you are also next to the race course well worth a visit if you have never been. You cannot camp or lite fires or park more then sort of 10 metres from the road to avoid damaging the environment. It can be a good cheap day out for the family provided the weather is kind.

Stepping into this library was a blast from the past the building is very traditional and they have a separate room for children which was wonderful. We attend the tiny treasures group with our 1 year old and it's fantastic. Staff are great for helping you find the right book and the machines are so easy to use.
