The Minster In-2-Hours

York's Greatest Building from every angle

Minster Tour plan

A visit to the spectacular York Minster cathedral can be an overwhelming experience, especially if you try to take it in all in one go. After all, it took over 250 years to build, and restoration has been almost non-stop since.

The price of admission includes a guided tour in a group, but if you'd rather do it at your own pace, then follow this itinerary round the main features of the building.

Start with a walk round the York Minster Exterior, then click on each feature in turn (a link at the end of each description leads to the next Itinerary Stage to make this easy).
