York Minster
The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York in full - commemorates the monks who converted those living in the surrounding countryside to Christianity. Dedicated to St. Peter, York Minster's bishops even sat on the council at Arles in AD 314. After this, little is known until AD 627, when the oldest documented (wooden) church was built here for the baptism of King Edwin of Northumbria. Succeeding Saxon and Norman constructions were destroyed, and the present cathedral was built in the Gothic style in the 13th century.
And if you've got a head for heights, York Minster's spectacular medieval Central Tower - the highest point in the city - involves a climb of 230 feet up 275 steps. Along the way, you'll enjoy close-up views of some of the cathedral's most interesting decorative features, including its pinnacles and gargoyles. Once outside, all that hard work will be rewarded with superb views of York's historic city center.

Historic Pubs, Mining & Gourmet Dining Experience (from Bath)
Activities
Local Flavor at Bath
Highlights
- An outstanding three-course dinner at a 3-roseatte, award-winning historic, local inn as part of a journey into local history, places & culture.
- Sample local beers (or choose your own)
- Enjoy a nightcap at another local pub before returning to Bath
Description
Our 'Historic Pubs, Mining & Dining' experience is something very special and very different. More than an unforgettable gourmet dining experience at one of the top restaurants in the Bath region, we stop at two other unique historic inns to sample the beer (or wine) and learn of each one's incredible past and the secrets that lie beneath.
Much more than the typical sterile dining tour, this is a journey of discovery, culinary sensations and personal connection and conversation that is truly unforgettable.
Itinerary
In a small group of no more than eight, we take you into the local countryside to experience fabulous food and drink and learn of the stories that cling to the fabric of three historic pubs in the region close to Bath. We begin with a visit to an old, working man's pub that 100 years ago chimed with the sound of nearby steam trains and burly quarrymen relaxing after a hard day cutting stone deep beneath the inn. Experience the local beer as you learn of the unique story of the pub, the local area and the men and women who helped build Bath.
Discover a 17th-century coaching inn that once accommodated 40 horses as a stopping point on the London to Bristol highway. Enjoy a fabulous three-course dinner, and hear the fascinating story of a nearby government secret that was so secret it is still officially classified! Finally, enjoy one final, relaxed night-cap before at a rather unique and special watering hole before being returned back to your door in Bath for a good night's sleep!
