Beverley has been a thriving market town since medieval times. The Saturday market still operates in the same spot it has for over 700 years. Georgian townhouses line the streets and the skyline is dominated by two magnificent churches that rival many cathedrals.
Whether you're after country breaks exploring the Yorkshire Wolds or prefer urban culture, Beverley delivers both. The town works brilliantly for hot tub stays because you can pack your days with activities then unwind completely in your private hot tub each evening.

Top 5 attractions you have to see in Beverley
From Gothic masterpieces to interactive museums, Beverley offers attractions that suit everyone. Here are the five places you absolutely can't miss during your visit.
Beverley Minster
This Gothic masterpiece took over 200 years to complete and rivals York Minster in grandeur. The stone carvings are extraordinary with 68 misericords depicting everything from medieval musicians to mythical creatures. Entry is free though donations are welcomed. The Minster hosts regular concerts that showcase its incredible acoustics.
Beverley Westwood
This 400-acre common land sits right on the town's doorstep and has been grazed by cattle for centuries. You'll often see Highland cattle and horses roaming freely. The Westwood offers miles of walking paths with views across the Yorkshire Wolds. It's perfect for dog friendly breaks as your pets can run off-lead in designated areas.
St Mary's Church
Often overshadowed by the Minster, St Mary's deserves equal attention. The painted ceiling panels date from the 15th century and the rabbit carving here allegedly inspired Lewis Carroll's White Rabbit. The church sits in a peaceful setting and contains some of the finest medieval art in England.
Beverley Racecourse
Racing has taken place here since the 1690s making it one of Britain's oldest courses. The flat racing season runs from April to September with fixtures most months. The course sits on the Westwood with stunning views. Even if you're not into racing, the atmosphere on race days is brilliant for families and groups.
East Riding Treasure House
This museum and art gallery combines local history with hands-on exhibits that kids love. The collection includes Roman artefacts, Victorian toys and contemporary art. There's a cafe and the building itself is worth seeing. Best of all, entry is completely free making it ideal for budget-conscious family cottages.
