Thinking about moving and wondering whether Beverley is the right town for you?
Here we have 10 great reasons why we think it might be the perfect place to buy your first home, relocate to with your family, or downsize to…
1. The beautiful wide-open Beverley Westwood is right on your doorstep
Beverley Westwood is a large, 600-acre area of public grassland, which is a dream come true for dog walkers, families and explorers. It has been used as a grazing pasture for friendly cows for many years and is also a favourite spot for sledging in the winter due to its long, undulating slopes.
2. You can have a fun day out at Beverley Racecourse
Located on the Westwood itself, Beverley Racecourse is a thoroughbred horse racing venue, which offers a fun day out for all the family. Dress up for the popular Ladies’ Day, view the fastest horses at Beverley Bullet Day or splash out in one of the hospitality suites, where you can enjoy the best views, as well as gourmet food and drink.
3. It’s home to a thriving High Street with an array of independent shops & boutiques
The bustling town centre is home to a fantastic variety of independent and high-street stores, making it a shopper’s dream! From artisan bakers to trendy clothing outlets, there is something for everyone here. The main shopping areas are located in North Bar Within, St Mary’s Arcade and Ladygate.
4. The Beverley Minster is one of the most beautiful minsters in the country
Dating back over 1300 years, the stunning Beverley Minster is a Gothic masterpiece that is larger than over one-third of all cathedrals in England. It is often quoted as being arguably the most lovely gothic building in England! Marvel in its magnificence as you explore the interior, which is also famous for its carvings of over 70 medieval musical instruments.
5. It’s great for foodies
From steaks to sushi, Beverley is fortunate to be home to so many great choices of cafés, restaurants and gastro-pubs. The independent restaurant scene is thriving and includes a handful of gourmet restaurants that are featured in the Michelin Guide.
6. Enjoy outdoor shopping at the local Saturday Market
Each Saturday, the centre of Beverley is transformed from a parking zone into a one-day family market, featuring fruit, veg, meat, fish, and bakery products, as well as plants and artisan-made craft items too. Pick up all your essentials and more, as well as enjoying food and drink from local street food providers.
7. It’s home to excellent schools
Whether your children are of primary or secondary school age, moving to Beverley offers you a great choice in education. Primary schools include Keldmarsh Primary and Molescroft Primary, which are both highly rated. And, when it comes to secondary schools, there is Beverley High School (girls only), Beverley Grammar School (boys only) and Longcroft School (mixed) – all located in the centre of the town.
8. You can play golf at the renowned Beverley Westwood Golf Course
Located within the pastures of Beverley Westwood, Beverley & East Riding Golf Club is the oldest inland golf club in Yorkshire. It’s a famously challenging, yet beautiful course with outstanding views of the town and the minster, as well as a landmark Black Mill located central to the course.
9. It’s well connected
With trains, buses and roads to both the coast, the M62 and the south, Beverley is commuter-friendly. Whether you are travelling to Hull, York or Doncaster, there are plenty of routes available. You can also catch a direct train to London from Beverley station, which takes just over 2 hours.
10. And last, but by no means least…it’s home to the wonderful Deira Park development by Peter Ward Homes where you can find an array of stunning newly built homes!
Just a short walk from the town centre, Deira Park offers a collection of stylish 3 and 4-bedroom terraced, semi-detached and detached properties catering for a range of budgets. The development’s well-planned layout has been created to maximise space, with larger-than-average gardens and accessible parkland – all designed with outdoor living and positive wellbeing in mind.
