Rules in force · 8Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Britain and Ireland ↗Neither the UK nor Ireland is part of Schengen: days spent here do not count towards the 90/180-day Schengen limit, and a Schengen visa does not admit you to either country.
- Britain and Ireland ↗The island of Ireland runs on two currencies: euro in the Republic, pound sterling in Northern Ireland and Great Britain. Carry a card that pays in both without fees.
- Britain and Ireland ↗Both islands drive on the left. Speed limits are in miles per hour in the UK (including Northern Ireland) and in kilometres per hour in the Republic of Ireland.
- United Kingdom ↗Most visitors who do not need a UK visa now need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travelling; this includes EU nationals. Irish citizens are exempt. Check the UK government site for your passport.
- United Kingdom ↗The UK is outside the EU and the Schengen area; a Schengen visa is not valid for the UK.
- United Kingdom ↗Driving is on the left; London has congestion and emissions charges for most vehicles, so do not drive in the city.
Beverley is the county town of East Yorkshire, a market town of about 19,000 people that skipped heavy industry. Its two medieval churches, the surviving North Bar gate and the open Westwood heath sit inside a 15-minute walk of each other, so a single day covers the town. Most visitors come from Hull (15 min by train) or use it as a base for the Yorkshire Wolds and the coast. Two nights is the practical maximum before you have seen it.

Arrive & move
Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in
Getting around
The centre is small enough to walk end to end in about 20 minutes; there is no need for local transport. Trains run roughly twice an hour to Hull (15 min) and on toward Bridlington and Scarborough; East Yorkshire buses X46/X47 link York, Beverley and Hull, and bus 246 continues to Hornsea. A car helps for the Wolds and the coast.
