Inside York Minster Dec 2011
A day is never enough to explore the nooks and corners of York, one of England's finest towns. The medieval city was founded by the Romans in 71 AD and captured by the Vikings in 866 AD till 954 when it was incorporated into the Kingdom of England. After a night's rest in Stratford-upon-Avon, Topdeck took us to York. Our accommodation was merely a 10-min walking distance to the city centre and Julia, the trip leader, briefed and showed us around the city before we were given half a day to roam the medieval streets. You can't miss York Minster.

It is impossible (at least for me), because of all the buildings around the minster, to get the full façade in one shot. You can see a group of people on the right hand side that will give you an idea of the size of the building. Best viewed Large See where the photo was taken at maps.yuan.cc/.
