Additional Information & Description
York Minster brings 1,400 years of English history into view through a guided walk inside one of Northern Europe’s largest Gothic cathedrals. This 75-minute tour pairs the scale of the building with a live guide’s explanations, giving you more than an unaccompanied look at its architecture. The cathedral is also known as The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York.
The Five Sisters Window and key cathedral spaces
See the Five Sisters Window, dedicated to women who died in World War I. Its memorial significance gives this part of the visit a particular focus beyond the glass itself. The tour also takes you to the Chapter House and the Undercroft Museum, bringing several distinct areas of the minster into one guided visit rather than limiting your time to the main cathedral space.
Gardens and a royal addition
Your guide will also talk about the minster gardens and the new statue of Queen Elizabeth II. These subjects extend the commentary beyond the cathedral interior, adding context to the grounds and a recent royal addition. The live tour is delivered in English, so you can follow these stories directly with your guide.
