News and entertainment worth sharing – York and North Yorkshire
13 virtual experiences in York you have to try
Fri 8 May 2020 @ 12:42pm YorkMix Things to do
York’s many great attractions may be locked up right now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t visit.
Thanks to a combination of ingenuity and the internet, we can still go on a tour of some of the city’s best bits.
You can meet Vikings, explore gardens and go on ghost walks.
Visit York has now pulled some of these together in a #YorkAtHome page.
“It has been wonderful to see how the city’s tourism businesses have adapted to the lockdown – creating unique online experiences and entertaining content for people to enjoy from home,” said Make It York leisure marketing manager Michelle Brown.
So here are a few places you can go… without going anywhere…
York Army Museum
This truly impressive virtual tour of the museum is well worth spending some time over. See all the exhibits as if you were there – and even in 3D if you have a VR headset…
York Minster
Virtual visitors can now explore the hidden stories of York Minster’s Great East Window, the country’s largest single expanse of medieval stained glass.
The new Stained Glass Navigator site features high-resolution photos of all 311 panels from the recently restored medieval masterpiece, allowing people to explore the whole window online for the first time and view the detail of its intricately painted 600-year old glass.
York Museums Trust
Harland Miller discusses his work and relationship with his home town of York in this video via York Art Gallery – just one of many online activities to enjoy from York Museums Trust.
You can also explore Kirkgate at the Castle Museum and lose yourself in the online collections.
York Ghost Tour
Ironically for ‘the most haunted city in Europe’ York has become a bit of a ghost town recently.
Which makes Dorian Deathly’s live (ish) ghost tour of lockdown York all the more spooky. Join him on a nighttime stroll through some of the spookiest streets and most terrifying tales the city has to offer.
National Railway Museum
Immerse yourself in stories from centuries of railway history and discover unexpected objects from the world’s largest railway collection.
York Mansion House
The beautiful Mansion House may be shut for now, but its video channel gives us a chance to learn some Georgian-style secrets.
York’s nuclear bunker
Take a trip round this remarkable piece of Cold War history, thanks to Google arts and culture.
York Cat Trail
Peter from the Cat Gallery takes us on a tour of all the cats on buildings in York city centre. How many did you know were there?
Castle Howard
Historian Dr Chris Ridgway has done a series of video lectures on this remarkable country pile – see them all on the link below.
York Theatre Royal
Enjoy again the full community production of York Theatre Royal’s suffragette drama Everything Is Possible .
Or take part in the theatre’s Collective Acts of Creativity, with interactive challenges and more.
Aesthetica Short Films
The magnificent short movie festival Aesthetica will – hopefully – be back in November.
But there’s no need to wait. Some of the best films showcased at the event over the years are available in their archive.
Stillingfleet Lodge
If you’re missing wide open spaces this could be for you. Stillingfleet Lodge is taking part in the virtual National Gardens Scheme, a way to keep garden gates virtually open and continue to raise money for nursing charities.
This video recreate’s a swallow’s eye view over the lodge and gardens. And if you enjoyed you can go here to donate to the nursing and health charities it supports.
Jorvik Viking Centre
These interactive online materials aimed at children and curious adults will help you learn about York’s rich Norse heritage, the excavation of Coppergate and much more.

York Minster Tower: How To Visit & Is It Worth The Climb?
Grey Globetrotters Travel Blog contains affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. See my disclaimer for more information.
York Minster is one of the most iconic sights in the English city of York, with the massive Central York Minster Tower at its heart. An authentic medieval masterpiece, the tower at York Minster is an instantly recognisable symbol of the city, and climbing it is highlighted in any guide to the best things to do in York .
But what should you expect when visiting York Minster Tower? Are the views from the top really that interesting? Is it worth your time, money and effort to attempt the climb to the top of York Minster Central Tower? Let’s take a look!
A Brief History of the Central York Minster Tower
York Minster (the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York) is an Anglican cathedral dating back to 627. Construction of the current Gothic building, including the massive central tower, started in 1215 and was completed in 1405.
The tower collapsed in 1407, but work to rebuild it with reinforced piers started in 1420. This coincided with the construction of the twin Western towers, which house the Minster’s 36 bells. The Minster was consecrated in 1472.
York Minster escaped destruction by King Henry VIII during the Dissolution of the Monasteries (1536-1541) but has been damaged many times over the years through fire, looting and siege!
A 1967 survey revealed that the tower was close to collapse, and remedial works to reinforce the tower and cathedral foundations were completed in 1972.
There are many reasons to visit and take on the York Minster Tower challenge, including stepping into medieval history, getting incredible views, achieving a personal challenge, and discovering fabulous photo opportunities from the highest point in the city of York.
The central tower stands 235 feet (72 m) tall, and you can climb all the way to the top. The wide-reaching views from the top and from various points on the way up are incredible.
Climbing The York Minster Central Tower
The tower at York Minster has 276 steep, narrow and winding (mostly) stone steps.
There are a few places where you can pause to catch your breath, but long sections of the climb offer no places to stop. You will hold up other people if you need to pause, as there is no room to pass on the narrow steps.
Tip : If you’re a slower climber, let the fitter/faster people in your timeslot sprint up the steps ahead of you, so you don’t need to worry about taking your time. It’s what I did 🙂
On the way up, you’ll pass all sorts of tiny doors that lead into private areas of the Minster, and then will reach a pathway that takes you outside and across the roof.
From here, you can look down to the city below and get a bird’s eye view of gargoyles, tiny “Rapunzel-like” towers and flying buttresses, before continuing your climb up the central tower.
When you reach the top of the tower, you’ll be standing at the highest point in York, on a huge square the size of a tennis court! From every side of the square. you can see a different view of the city through the parapet, with far-reaching views across Yorkshire on clear days.
Tip: Book your tower tour so you’ll be at the top of the tower when the bells ring in the Western Towers (on the hour).
Is Climbing York Minster Tower Worth It?
Are you wondering if whether the time and cost of visiting the tower at York Minster is worth it, or should you skip this activity on your visit to York?
I love the history and atmosphere of York Minster, and climbing the tower is a great add-on to get a different perspective of the Minster and the city.
The climb is challenging unless you’re very fit, with limited things to see for much of the time, although the section across the roof is fascinating, and it’s tempting to linger here. Once you’re at the top of the tower, the views are fabulous, and you get a great panorama, although smaller kids might need to be lifted up to see everything fully.
My son loved the tower climb as a teenager – probably more from a physical achievement perspective, but he did rate the whole experience as “good”. High praise from a teen 🤣
If you only have one day in York, I’d probably skip this activity, but I highly recommend it if you visit for a few days.
Can You Enjoy the Tower Without Climbing It?
Yes. From outside the building, you can get a great idea of the tower’s size and admire the intricate stonework of medieval masons.
York Minster Tower with Kids
To join the tower tour, children must be 8 years old and above and capable of climbing (and descending) the 275 steps unaided.
If you have active kids, they will love the climb and will enjoy the markers that point out how many steps you have climbed. My son was fascinated by all the ancient graffiti carved into the stone walls on the way up.
Parts of the climb take you outside, onto the roof of York Minster. It’s the perfect place for your kids to get a closer look at stone gargoyles, intricate architecture and beautiful windows.
My son also loved peering down at the “ant-sized” people far below, but the path is very high up and narrow, so you’ll need to be careful!
At the top of the tower, information panels point out the major landmarks in the city and beyond. It’s fun to look at these with your kids and then look over the city to spot the landmarks together.
Practical Info
York Minster Tower tour times: Tower Trips run regularly throughout the day, from 10:15 am until – 3:30 pm, subject to availability.
Admission price: The tower tour is £6; however, you will also need an entrance ticket for York Mimster, which is £12.50. Click HERE to book a combined York Minster and Central Tower ticket, but note that you can only book your tower tour on the day you plan to vist.
Tip: Admission to York Minster is included in the York Pass . It’s worth considering if you want to visit at least three museums and/or attractions while you’re visiting York, as it will offer significant savings compared to buying tickets individually 🙂
How much time do you need ? It’s worth allowing yourself between 45 minutes and an hour for the York Minster Tower Challenge.
It took me just over ten minutes to climb to the top of the tower, with a few stops on the way to catch my breath and take photos. It can take much longer if you get stuck behind a “slowcoach”, as the steps are very narrow, with only a few “passing places”.
Most people spend 15-20 minutes at the top of the tower, catching their breath (!), enjoying the views and snapping photos before taking the stairs back down. You have to be very careful on the descent , so it’s likely to take at least five minutes to descend.
Accessibility: The York Minster Tower is not accessible for people with limited mobility, breathing problems, heart problems or high blood pressure. It’s also not suitable for children aged 8 and under.
Facilities: There are free lavatories in York Minster, in the North Quire Aisle. While there is no cafe within the Minster, plenty of coffee shops are nearby.

York Minster - The Quire
The Quire (Choir) of York Minster is a delight to the eye. The Quire Screen is one of the most intricately carved in all the UK, with depictions of famous churchmen set within niches facing the nave. Before passing through the Screen, look up, where the huge organ is poised above the screen. Recently refurbished, it boasts an astonishing 5,300 individual pipes.
Pass through the arched door of the screen into the Quire. This is where the cathedra, or throne of the Archbishop of York, is located, along with stalls for the canons. Look up again, high above the stalls, to see the marvellous vaulted ceiling. Closer at hand, the capitals of the Quire columns are decorated with a variety of fanciful carved heads.
The stalls are wonderfully carved (see photos below). Look for the plaques on the wall of the stalls. They depict the insignia of various saints, and were originally designed to protect the woodwork from the hair oil used by the canons! That woodwork is not original, as the stalls had to be replaced following a fire in 1829.

Major attraction in York opens for the first time this year
A MAJOR attraction in York is opening its doors for the first time in 2024.
Treasurer's House, in Minster Yard, will be open from Monday, April 1.
The National Trust site is the the former treasury to York Minster and hasn't been open since the Christmas period .
Paid for tours of the historic building are returning. The site's garden and café are also back open which visitors can access without tickets.
Treasurer’s House was created from turning three separate buildings into one property. Tours of the historic spaces were awarded the Traveller’s Choice Award by TripAdvisor for the last two years.
The tours - running Monday to Wednesday and on Saturdays - are designed to "take you on a journey through the house", said the National Trust.
A new ‘Turning back time’ guided tour is being introduced for Sundays. This tour looks at more of the house's past residents - including astronomers, politicians, generals and gentry.
Frank Green was the first person to donate a house, complete with all its contents, to the National Trust in 1930.
A spokesperson for the house said: "It might also be because he knew how at risk many historic buildings were. It is thanks to his donation that several historic buildings survive in the city centre and Treasurer’s House was his biggest creation.
"A place to showcase his collection from years of travel and antique hunting for the perfect pieces in the perfectly curated rooms."
The house's downstairs café was named the creator of the National Trust scone blogger’s favourite scone – the Christmas pudding scone.
And the National Trust said it has a "delicious hot cross scone" to celebrate its reopening.
"By visiting, donating, and buying from the café or shop, supporters are contributing to the conservation work of the National Trust to help the charity care for places like Treasurer’s House," said a National Trust spokesperson.

The spokesperson added that a deep clean of the house was completed over winter to welcome visitors "just as Mr Green hoped".
Tours last around one hour and run every 15 minutes, being ‘by appointment’ on Monday to Wednesday, plus Saturdays.
The ‘Turning back time’ tours run every Sunday from 11am – 4pm. They are free to National Trust members and children under five. Pre-booking is recommended.
