Just 29 miles from York, the attractive old market town of Beverley lies in the foothills of the East Yorkshire Wolds.

 Its best-known landmark is the impressive Beverley Minster, a 334-foot-long cathedral made even more famous for its starring role as a stand-in for London's Westminster Abbey in the hit TV series, Queen Victoria.

 Notable highlights include its lovely Romanesque marble font and the Maiden's Tomb. The choir is a magnificent example of Early English architecture, and its choir-stalls (1520) have the largest number of misericords in England (68).
