If you have never been to the town before, you might need some guidance on what to do during a visit or if you move there.

Here is how to spend a perfect day in the Yorkshire town of Beverley.

After enjoying your coffee, you might want to head over to the Beverley Minster that has been around for centuries and is described as “one of the most beautiful Gothic buildings in Europe”.

You can either enjoy the minster yourself or book a guided tour to learn more about the area’s history, or pick the roof tour where you will get to take in the views of Beverley from the top of the building.

You can also spend some time shopping, as Beverley has plenty of big-name brands and independent shops to explore.

You can stop off at Flemingate Shopping Centre, which has a range of shops including a Dunelm, H&M, and a Baytree Interiors.
