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!!
2. Sewerby Hall and Gardens

Visited Sewerby Hall for the day with my Mum and bought the ticket for the house and zoo (gardens free of charge) - well worth it! Gardens were absolutely beautiful, particular the walled gardens which have been looked after so well. Our favourite unexpected part was being able to leave the main grounds of the hall and walk out toward the coast line, with a lovely view of Bridlington. There is also a little land train service which runs into Bridlington and back (great for kids and adults!) so we managed to do that too and walk down by the beach which was an unexpected bonus. The house was really interesting and staff were really knowledgeable, although not huge so took approx. 30 mins to go around. Zoo similarly was fairly small but a nice size, especially for smaller children/those who just want a quick ‘taste’ of a zoo and not a full day’s worth of experience. The proximity to the animals is really impressive compared to a bigger zoo too. All staff around the grounds were really friendly/helpful, and grounds were noticeably very accessible for scooters/wheelchairs. Cafe open for takeaway only, free parking which was easy to find and toilets really clean. Plenty of hand sanitisers all around too. Would definitely recommend!

The cow shed is a lovely ( posh upmarket ) little cafe with a very good chef delivering delicious food with friendly staff , its a very safe place during this pandemic as they are taking every precaution on our behalf. Yes the food is expensive compared to other cheap and cheerful seaside cafes , but this one isn’t serving you cheap rubbish!!! you get high end restaurant quality food in a lovely stylish environment, so the food and venue is well worth the extra cost . If you want tea in a crappy mug and a burger with no meat in it try somewhere else .
6. 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.

I thought we would pop in for the morning...see a few animals and birds...didnt expect such an immersive and hands on day, feeding wallabies, emus and other animals. Great informative demonstrations with those stripy animals that annoy everyone in America, whose name I have forgotten, brilliant flying display and talk about birds of prey, handling reptiles and a barn owl. A FAB day out, thank you!
8. Honeysuckle Farm
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 319 reviews
Honeysuckle Farm is a family owned and operated open farm in the East Riding of Yorkshire. We are an open farm. Not a farm park so if you visit us expect to see a real working farm with a commercial herd of cows, dairy cows and a flock of commercial sheep. We also have goats, fish ponds, play areas, horses, red squirrels, a café and many picnic areas. We have been open for public visits since 1992 and we offer a unique and quirky experience of what it is like to run a farm with all its fun, challenges and tribulations in the present economic climate. If you want anthropomorphised animals try a theme park. If you want the real deal then visit Honeysuckle Farm to feed animals, watch a milking display (the milk is processed into ice cream on the farm), have a horse and cart ride with one of our huge Shire horses and chat to the farmers. We keep prices very reasonable - compare us to other attractions - and believe that we offer good value for money - feel free to bring a picnic and you can stay on the farm from opening at 10am to closing at 5pm if you like. Give us a try. we look forward to seeing you.

upon entering the farm is extremely welcoming, everything is well thought of, hand washing facilities are excellent, the cafe is excellent, best scones on the coast, the animals are well cared for and situated for the children, the play area is great fun. The picnic areas are spread out and there is plenty of room to enjoy a lunch or snack while the children play.
