Beverley Travel Guide

Beverley has managed to be the county town of two counties, first and for many centuries of the historic East Riding of Yorkshire and more recently of the ill-fated and short-lived Humberside. County hall remains as a memorial to this past glory.

It is a lovely town with a minster as good as many cathedrals - with superb workmanship in stone and in wood, a church which can almost match it in carvings and sculpture if not in general impressiveness, an RAF museum, a racecourse, an excellent market and one of the best squares in Northern England with a road at the north end leading past the minster and through a mediaeval gate to the old town.
