York

The North's spiritual capital for 2000 years, York is central to Britain's colourful history. Visit the stunning York Minster, enjoy Stonegate and Shambles shopping and live the history at the JORVIK Viking Centre, National Railway Museum and York Castle Museum.

York is a compact walled riverside city and home to countless world-class attractions, museums and galleries.

York is a year round destination offering a lively café bar and restaurant culture and vibrant entertainment and festivals.

Walk the city walls and discover York's royal history of kings, princes and England's Christian history. Visit the fascinating National Railway Museum, York Castle Museum and York Dungeon.

Over a million people a year take a walk through 1900 years of history on York's city walls.

Built in Roman times, they've been added to and rebuilt over time and now have parts from across the centuries.

Originally built as defences, the focus is now on conservation.
