YORK Minster can still kick it. Europe's largest gothic cathedral continues to inspire awe, as its inclusion in the Seven Wonders Of Britain confirms.
One of only two edifices in the North on the list, the Minster jostles alongside those modern glass-and-metal landmarks, Cornwall's Eden Project and the London Eye.
But these two upstarts have a long way to go to match the Minster's record. Having taken 250 years and many lives to build, the magnificent church has thrilled visitors for more than half a millennium. When Eden and the Eye can say the same, then they too will be considered truly wonderful.
