About York
York is an historic town in the north of England and is well-regarded for its huge 13th-century cathedral, called York Minster.
Having been founded by the ancient Romans but eventually invaded by the Vikings (who named it “Jorvik”), the town is a treasure trove of delights for those with an interest in history. In fact, it is known to be one of the most haunted cities in Europe!
If you do want to delve into York’s past, stop by the JORVIK Viking Centre, which has reconstructed streets in the style of the Viking era and life-like mannequins so that you can imagine what York was like in Viking times.
Among the many monuments worth visiting, York Minster should top your list, along with Clifford’s Tower, which is just a stone’s throw from the York Castle Museum. If you are interested in visiting other museums, the Yorkshire Museum is a treat and is set in beautiful gardens. Rail enthusiasts will love the National Railway Museum, while York’s Chocolate Story is a must for those with a sweet tooth.
