The magnificent York Minster is second in importance in the Church of England only to the cathedral at Canterbury
Description
It stands in the center of historic York, surrounded by half-timbered homes and shops, medieval guildhalls, and churches.
In turn, York's romantic streets are surrounded by three miles of magnificent town walls that you can walk atop for spectacular views over the city and its surroundings. While here, visit the National Railway Museum, one of England's most visited tourist attractions.
York is also a good base from which to explore northeast England, in particular the rugged beauty of the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. Elsewhere in this corner of the country, you'll find some of England's most beautiful historic towns and cities, including Durham - famous for its castle and cathedral - and Beverley, which also boasts an attractive minster.
