Not that they ever got round to building the spire. Apparently they were warned off following the collapse of a French gothic cathedral (why bother with foundations?). I got this from our informative (and free) guide, who was well worth following round. Even in these difficult-to-impress times, the sheer scale and grandeur of YM works its magic, whether you are... more

Wow this place blows me away with all the tall cellings and the tower walk well worth its money, though it is very tight and a clostrophobic persons worst nightmare. more

York Minster is absolutely breath-taking! I didn't get to tour all of it, just mainly the nave as I went to a Saturday service. What I did see was beautiful. The acoustics are heavenly so if you get a chance to go for evensong to listen to the choir, I highly recommend that! more

Really impressive architecture, but still dealing with the aftermath from the fire in the 1980’s. Climb up the tower is hard work (not advisable for the old/infirm/young kids).

After reading all the glowing reviews on this attraction I feel a bit mean starting off by moaning about the entrance fee into the minster. We opted for the £9.50 ticket (which I felt was expensive) to let us access all three areas. The ticket lady put a sheet of A4 paper in front of us regarding health and safety... more

York Minster is the reason why many travelers go out of their way to see York and with good reason. A soaring Gothic masterpiece, rare in this part of the world. Don't miss the undercroft with Roman ruins. The bells are magnificent and the choir, even just practicing, was spellbinding. The gift shop had CDs of their work so I... more
