I feel that I am doing York Minster an injustice in that I don't think anyone can adequately describe just how magnificent and beautiful this architectural gem is. This is an absolute must visit if you are visiting York. I am not religious but you can't help but be moved in some spiritual way when you look around.
The exterior is a pictionary of architectural delights and the interior will take your breath away in both scale and craftsmanship. Historically, the timeline of York Minster is amazing and will lead you off on many interesting roads. Vikings, Romans, great fires and mice (this last one I'll leave you to discover but I'll tell you now it isn't a rodent problem)!

I went to York Minster last month August with my son who is currently living in Leeds. It was a fantastic place to see breathtaking. Would love to go back. The guide Sandra was very good. I thoroughly recommend it

A beautiful building in a beautiful city. I have been around the Minster a few times and always find it a pleasure when doing so. Well woth a visit if you're in York and haven't been before.

If you are visiting York, be sure to visit the York Minster. I don't normally like visiting religious buildings / churches, but due to the more recent history associated with this place (the fire and the extensive renovation works and the structural works required to the main tower) I found this visit quite interesting. The main room as you enter the building is immense with huge decorative stained glass windows which incredible design and detail. Be sure to find and look at the famous "Rose Window".

The Chapter room is wonderful. With its large decorative stained glass windows and be sure to look up and see the ceiling.

The museum is also very interesting. Part of the museum provides information on the major structural works which were undertaken because if cracking and sinking of the main tower due to the foundations being inadequate to support it. As you walk round you can the concrete collar and the steel rods which were installed to strengthen the foundations.

Ok

As a history nut all I can say is that the premises has been a mind blowing experience, well worth a visit in the present for a history nut like me.
And i can say that I look forward to seeing the premises on a visit in the near future again.

A steep but worthy climb up the tower. The crypt history was fascinating.
Well worth a visit. The only issue is when the front of the minster is used for memorials/private use it would be nice to be fore warned as people travel some distance and there is no reduction on entry price!

Lovely
