York Minster

For over 1,000 years, York Minster has been a principal place of worship for the York area. The largest Gothic cathedral in Europe, this impressive building is open to the public and visitors can enjoy the peace and beauty of the church, including its many stained glass windows, the well-known Rose window, fascinating ancient remains beneath the church in the Undercroft, and spectacular views from the top of the tower, 275 steps up. Audio tours are available. York Minster also boasts its own gift shop, as well as a restaurant/café.
