York Minster

I didn’t expect to be so moved by this place. As we were going in, the bells rung, and there was a prayer said for the soldiers in foreign lands. I was nearly in tears. The stained glass is lovely, as is the architecture and the history of the place.

You could go there every day for a month and hear interesting stories about the place, never hearing the same one twice.

The first time I went to the Minster, I was amazed because I had never been to a Gothic Cathedral, or to England. Everything I saw in York pretty much amazed me.

It’s one of my favourites, and wins my prize for sheer prettiness. A lovely building in an amazing city. If you can manage it, try and attend an Evensong service. The boys choir brought tears to my eyes.

One of my favorite spots on my trip around the UK. I got some great photo’s of the sunsetting on the front of the minster. And the underground tour is very interesting!
Definitely worth it!
