York
York has a rich heritage as the city was founded by the Romans in 71 AD at the confluence
of the Rivers Ouse and Foss in North Yorkshire, England.
York has a thriving shopping centre and York Minster, York Castle Museum and The
National Railway Museum are worth a visit. York Minster is a medieval church and
one of the finest Gothic cathedrals in Northern Europe, and there are wonderful
medieval cobbled streets nearby.
York has many good restaurants, pubs and bars and we are happy to make recommendations.
The best way to explore York is to take an open top bus, wander around the city
walls and take the riverside walk. York is also ideal to explore on foot because
the city is quite small.
