Towering over the north Yorkshire city of York, seen for miles around, is the magnificent York Minster. This cathedral is still as beautiful as ever, despite a fire destroying part of it over 20 years ago. The restoration project is ongoing to prevent the Minster decaying further and an admission charge was introduced fairly recently to ... Read the complete review

York Minster remains categorically my favourite building in the world. Having lived in York for nearly two years now, I make regular visits - not necessarily to services. I wouldn't consider myself to be a particularly religious or Christian person, but there is something about this Cathedral that is deeply moving for me. Built ... Read the complete review
