Beverley has it all - a charm and ambience
which makes it an ideal place to visit and a beautiful place to live. It also
offers a community lifestyle of which residents are proud and, above all else,
it provides a quality experience for all who see it.An unspoilt historic townscape features outstanding buildings and impressive architecture. The horizon is dominated on two counts - to the north side stands the medieval St Mary's Church and to the south the majestic Beverley Minster which dates back to the 13th century. The Dominican Friary, the ancient Market Cross and the medieval North Bar are some of the other notable architectural features that make the town so special. Combine this with a fine cultural heritage and large 'open' spaces and you have the essence of the town's appeal.
In addition, the town has an interesting selection of small, speciality shops and craft arcades where the service and skill of traditional craftsmen and quality retailers provide an abundance of rewarding shopping opportunities. It is an unprecedented experience with everything from antiques to aromatherapy and from bookshops and saddlers.
As the former Poet Laureate Sir John Betjeman once said to would-be visitors to Beverley, "there is a great surprise in store". We know you will agree because Beverley is a truly wonderful discovery with all year round appeal. This traditional and gracious market town and the equally attractive East Riding look forward to welcoming you many times.
