Beverley Minster is a local gem

The market town of Beverley in Yorkshire is a great little place to visit.

It is probably also a good place to live but house prices are relatively high compared to similar properties in the nearby city of Kingston-Upon-Hull.

But whether you visit for a day or a longer vacation remember to pop into Beverley Minster.

We visited the Minster recently having visited Beverley many times in recent years without venturing as far as the Minster.

The trail of shopping snakes along through Beverley with the Westwood at one end and the Minster at the other and the main market place somewhere in the middle.

The Minster was well worth visiting and unusually in 2017 it is free to enter.

Donations are welcomed and we were generous. It is surprising how when you are not forced to pay up you give more generously.

But we also did so as it was a beautiful place to visit.

Where is Beverley?

The historic market town of Beverley is around seven miles from the city of Kingston-Upon-Hull on the North Bank of the River Humber. It is in the county of Yorkshire.

In summer race-goers flock to the town but Beverley racecourse is also host to other events.

For a small town Beverley has plenty to offer including historic buildings, the Saturday and Wednesday Market, folk music events, pubs, cafes, restaurants, an Art Gallery, the Minster and the Westwood which is a great area for walks.

It is a good place for a holiday base if you want to explore parts of Yorkshire including York and Kingston-upon-Hull the UK's 2017 City of Culture, but also coastal towns.

It has a train and bus service and plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants.
