Beverley Minster
One of the great glories of English religious architecture, Beverley Minster is the most impressive church in the country that is not a cathedral. Construction began in 1220 – it was the third church to be built on this site, the first dating from the 7th century – and continued for two centuries, spanning the Early English, Decorated and Perpendicular periods of the Gothic style.
The soaring lines of the exterior are imposing, but it is inside that the charm and beauty lie. The 14th-century north aisle is lined with original stone carvings, mostly of musicians. Indeed, much of our know- ledge of early musical instruments comes from these images. You'll also see goblin…

St Mary's
Doomed to play second fiddle to the mother church, St Mary's is a glorious church, built in stages between 1120 and 1530. In the North Choir Aisle look out for a carving (c 1330) thought to have inspired Lewis Carroll's White Rabbit. The West Front is considered one of England's finest (early 15th century).

Cerutti 2
The only restaurant of note in town is unusually positioned inside the old waiting room of the train station. Italian dishes of all kinds are on offer, without the seafood leanings of its sister restaurant in Hull. Attached is the 'C' Horse Delicatessen, perfect for takeout meals.

St Mary's Church
Doomed to play second fiddle to Beverley Minster, St Mary's Church at the other end of town was built between 1120 and 1530. The west front (early 15th century) is considered one of the finest of any parish church in England. In the north choir aisle there is a carving (c 1330) of a rabbit dressed as a pilgrim that is said to have inspired Lewis Carroll's White Rabbit.

Grant's Bistro
Grant's is a great place for a romantic dinner à deux, with dark-wood tables, fresh flowers and candlelight. The menu makes the most of fresh local beef, game and especially seafood, with dishes such as pan-fried scallops with black pudding. From Monday to Thursday you can get a two-course dinner including a glass of wine for £15.

Dine on the Rowe
This new kid on the block rivals Grant's Bistro in its dedication to local produce, but offers a rather less formal atmosphere. Try the roast duck from Leven farm (just northeast of Beverley) with a sweet-and-sour Yorkshire rhubarb jus. Lunch dishes such as sausage and mash are available noon to 7.30pm, and a sharing platter for two, including two glasses of wine, costs £25.
