点评:York is a wonderful town and well worth a visit. It's easy to park and the historic center is perfectly easy walkable.
And the centerpiece of course is the massive York Minster. It's an Anglican cathedral. The first record of a church on the site dates to 627, but the bulk of the building was constructed between 1220 and 1472.The minster retains most of its medieval stained glass, a significant survival among European churches. The Minster stands tall at a max. tower height of 235 feet (72 m) and is visible from far away. Good if you get lost...just look out for the Minster.
And it is a really impressive piece of history, art and architecture. Really amazes you when you first walk up to it. There are so many details to find, to explore. To think how long it's been standing here - surviving quite the fire in 1984.
We didn't go in this time around, but that's surely something for another visit.
Not sure it's always as windy as it was when we've visited (August), but boy....did it almost blow us away at Precentors Court on the west side of the Minster. So, hold on your hats!
Definitely a must do - probably THE must-do when in York.
翻译:约克是一座很棒的小镇,非常值得一游。停车方便,历史中心也完全可以步行游览。
当然,最引人注目的当属宏伟的约克大教堂。这是一座英国国教大教堂。教堂最早的记录可以追溯到公元627年,但教堂主体建筑建于1220年至1472年间。大教堂保留了大部分中世纪的彩色玻璃窗,这在欧洲教堂中实属难得。大教堂最高塔楼高达235英尺(72米),从很远的地方就能看到。如果你迷路了,那就注意寻找大教堂吧。
它本身就是一件令人印象深刻的历史、艺术和建筑瑰宝。当你第一次走近它时,一定会惊叹不已。教堂里有太多值得探索的细节。想想它在这里屹立了这么久——甚至在1984年的那场大火中幸存了下来,真是令人感慨万千。
这次我们没有进去参观,但这绝对是下次旅行的必游之地。
不确定每年是否都像我们上次(八月)去的时候那么刮风,但天哪……在约克大教堂西侧的唱诗班庭院,风差点把我们吹走。所以,一定要抓紧帽子!
这绝对是约克必游之地——或许是约克之行最不容错过的景点。
