Yorkshire's best kept secret?

by Orbital_ - last update: Oct 24, 2008

The unassuming capital of East Yorkshire

Beverley Minster dominates any view of the town
Let's face it; East Yorkshire isn't exactly a tourist Mecca. The main city in the region has a staggeringly bad reputation that, considering recent redevelopment is quite unfair but is still kept in check through the insular mentality of the locals. Head twelve miles north of 'Ull though and you'll chance upon the best-kept secret in the north.
Beverley's gorgeous mesh of styles; from gothic to

A universe away from 'Beverly Hills'

Beverley is a historic market town well off most tourists' paths - most simply head for the much more famous city of York to the north and east. But this place is definitely worth an afternoon of your time in what is otherwise a fairly sparse (predominantly agricultural!) area for tourists!

Pros:"Beverley Westwood, The Minster, tasteful approach to new development in the town, character..."
Cons:"Plenty of clothes shops for women, nigh-on zero for men! Choking traffic on the one-way system..."
In A Nutshell:"Definitely worth an afternoon of your time..."
