Hidden gem of yorkshire
I was met at the door by vicar Martin Weaver (If I remember correctly) who not only offered his help and showed me around the Abbey but also gave me a private (!) tour to the top of the tower! The Abbey is magnificent with lots of interesting things to see. It has become famous lately with Asian tourists as famous Asian couple married there recently: https://youtu.be/s34fl3eFYMc
The building itself is steeped in history with fantastic architecture and lots of interesting features and artefacts. You can buy guide book which has self-conducted tour. There are no entry fees but there is donation box at the entrance.
Abbey is completely accessible to wheelchair users (through side entrance) with ramps and even, unobstructed flooring. Main entrance has 4 steps down with rails on both side. There is a gift shop and café on site (see photos for prices).
Toilets Incl. disabled) are next to the café
Easily reached from Micklegate car park or train/bus station
