York Minster, a gothic masterpiece
Interested in Gothic architecture? Then on your next trip to York make sure you visit the York Minster.
We’ve visited the York Minster several times and each time there seems to be something to explore that we missed on our last visit.
The sheer size of the York Minster is mind boggling in itself, with the intricate patterns on the roof and the beautifully crafted stained glass windows.
Now one of the world’s most popular tourist attractions, the York Minster has offered prayer for almost 1000 years and still offers daily worship and prayer, educational services and pastoral care.
Rising protectively above the ancient city of York, the York Minster appears to be something fairytales are made of. It’s so easy to imagine the grand house of God playing host to a wedding worthy of royalty.
On you’re visit it would be well worth making the trek up the stairs to the top of the tower – the view out over York city is well worth the climb to get there.
The Minster gift shop is the perfect place to search for trinkets and treasurers for friends and family or to purchase postcards to write home. Amongst the more popular gift choices with both locals and visitors from all over the world include books, CDs and jewellery.
If you’re feeling peckish after wandering around the Minster and climbing the tower why not call in to York Minster’s own café and restaurant? The restaurant, which can be found in the grounds of St William’s College, has a seating capacity of 80 and features a range of home made drinks, snacks and meals. Enjoy a cake and cup of tea inside or eat lunch in the beautiful courtyard or pavement setting outside.
