A closer look

Give the Minster setting and historic streets time. Choose a guided visit or a museum around your interests rather than trying to cover every period in one afternoon.

Give the place its own time

City walls have steps and sections can close. Confirm current access and use an alternative street route where needed.

Give the day room to unfold

Choose one main outing for each day and leave time for meals and the journey back. Confirm access, transport and any guided arrangements before setting out.
