About Beverley
The northern approach to the town is quite impressive, this is called North Bar Without, this is a street lined with elegant houses from the 18th and early 19th-century. To the left of the broad North Bar Within visitors will find the parish church of St.Mary, this is reputed to have started as a chapel to the Minster. It is of fine Gothic architecture, with a richly decorated interior, particularly the ceiling above the chancel which has 40 panels representing the king's of England up to Henry VI. There are two market squares, Wednesday Market and Saturday Market. The latter is memorable for its market cross of 1714 which bears the arms of Queen Anne, and the former for its lovely Georgian properties. The town has many pretty spots and attractive vista's; The River Hull, with bright painted narrow boats, the Beck sparkles despite being crammed in parts with pleasure boats. Beverley Beck leads almost to the town centre, it provides access to the Humber and in recent times has become a Mecca for boating enthusiasts. In the green belt surrounding the town there is much of interest including Beverley Racecourse, a venue for race meetings since 1767. The White Horse Inn is a noted former coaching inn of indeterminable age, but it was recorded in 1585! It is popularly known in the area as "Nellies" and is pure medieval in atmosphere with a warren of rooms and corridors. The pub has a delightful rear courtyard, and shutters to the windows either side of the entrance. The Rose and Crown is a pleasant hostelry in North Bar Without. The town hosts lively markets, has interesting shops, good entertainment, cafe's, restaurants and a range of accommodation to suit all tastes. Amongst its many attractions is a museum which recalls the life and times of the town. Beverley is only ten miles from the coast, the town lies amidst some of the most beautiful scenery in the East Riding of Yorkshire and makes the perfect destination for a base from which to explore the glorious Yorkshire countryside, or its fine sea-side resorts. It is also within easy reach of the Humber River, the wildfowl trust at Spurn Head and the Spurn Heritage Coast. Recommended towns & villages near Beverley
