York Minster, North Yorkshire - from the City Walls
York Minster, North Yorkshire - from the City Walls

The enormous York Minster (officially the Metropolitical and Cathedral Church of St Peter) is the largest Gothic Cathedral in Northern Europe. It is 158m long, the vaulting is 100ft high and the exterior is dominated by 3 enormous towers, the largest of which is 72m high and was never actually completed. The interior is dominated by the Great East Window, the largest medieval stained glass window in the world.

It is not until one gets a view like this, from the City Walls north of the Railway station, that you realise just how enormous this building is.
