place of worship in York and its surrounding areas. The largest
Gothic cathedral in Europe, this impressive building is open to the

of the church and its many stained glass windows, including the
well-known Rose Window. Visitors are also able to marvel at the
fascinating ancient remains held beneath the church, in the
Undercroft, and to enjoy the spectacular views from the top of its
275-step tower. Audio tours are available and York Minster also has
