Have visited the Minster before but as we were staying in Beverley for a few days we had the opportunity to spend longer exploring this wonderful building and its many artifacts. We were lucky to also manage to get tickets to visit the roof of the building where you can see how the it was constructed and its early and more recent areas of renovation. Our guides on the roof tour were Graham and Sue and they were splendid. There was nothing that they didn't know about this building and spent over an hour ensuring that we all had the opportunity to take photographs and ask as many questions as we liked. They were also a hysterical double act!! We could wax lyrical about the Minster itself but there really is only one way to appreciate it and that is to come and see it for yourselves. It has everything you could ask for including great historical items such as the tomb of Henry Percy and great relics including the grave of St John of York. The Guides in the Minster are super too as they point out all the things that you would miss if you were not aware such as the carved Head of Edward I and his wife the stone musicians and the upside down archer. A real delight! No admission, only donation, which is unusual these days, guides that truly are enthusiastic about your visit and a great little shop too. If you're in the area don't miss it!!

Visit the Bunker - RAF Holmpton

We're looking forward to opening the doors to visitors again when we reopen on 22nd May 2021, (Covid regulations permitting).

Reviewed By 1weetwood - Leeds, United Kingdom

We stayed locally and found this by chance. Being ex military and interested in military history we visited today. I think the entry price is a little steep but didn’t mind as it was something we’ve never done. I found the whole thing fascinating and talks by staff informative. It was designed to withstand a bomb the size of Hiroshima as long as it wasn’t a direct hit. Thankfully never tested.

Burton Agnes Hall

Reviewed By AndrewB8878 - Lincoln, United Kingdom

We visited on a gloriously sunny late June Saturday. A large, well maintained car park and then only a short walk to the cafe and entrance. We enjoyed a cake and coffee sitting outside in the lovely weather - plenty of tables and you could sit and admire the good quality plants for sale. The selection of cakes was small but the meals, particularly the sandwiches with salad looked mouthwatering. I did think the Gents toilets were too small. Admission is a very reasonable and good value £11 although free if you are an HHA member. The walled gardens were a joy to walk round, well thought out and colourful, especially the roses and I really liked the large size chess and drafts 'boards' areas. Plenty of seats to sit and take in the relaxing views. Certainly and just from casual observation, some of the walled gardens were wheelchair friendly as was the outside cafe (not saying the inside one wasn't) and a woodland walk that was signed so. The topiary in the grounds is immaculate and there are seats near the water feature to relax before taking a woodland walk. Returning to the Hall area there is a children's playground and the grounds generally do seem to be child and indeed dog friendly. I am not a great Hall person but these are definitely worth a visit. Helpful staff, not too big but nice, light rooms with a lived in feel which is no doubt because some rooms are used by the family and I can understand why. On the top floor there is for a country hall, a truly amazing selection of paintings including Renoir, Manet, Pissarro, Gaugin and Matisse. From a personal point of view it was worth the visit alone to see the Pissaro - 'A Woman shelling peas' We didn't see the ghost who has frequented the Hall in the past! On the way back to the car park, it is well worth spending c 15 minutes in the lovely church. Overall Burton Agnes is a really lovely place to visit both for the Gardens and the Hall. Can thoroughly recommend a visit there.

The Humber Bridge

The bridge once held the world record as the longest single span suspension bridge for cars but it remains the longest in the world over which to walk or cycle. More than 100,000 vehicles use the bridge each week, travelling between East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, with the majority using the HumberTAG electronic tolling system.

It really is surprising what there is to do at and around the Humber bridge, fab walks, beautiful scenery, fantastic park, the kids will have hrs of fun, rambling, climbing, biking, a great place to spend an hour or all day,take a picnic, have an ice cream along the river edge, stroll along the foreshore, you can even have a refreshing drink and great food at the country park inn.

Danes Dyke

Reviewed By Z1485KWmichele - Cleckheaton, United Kingdom

if you like nature , you will enjoy this walk . A pleasant easy stroll through the woodland with a designated walkway which takes you out on to the cliff top above south landing where you can sit and admire the sea views.
