York
York is one of England's greatest historic cities, wrapped in medieval walls and crowned by the magnificent Gothic Minster. Wander the Shambles' overhanging timber shops, uncover Viking and Roman roots at the Jorvik Centre, and enjoy riverside strolls and independent cafés. Compact, atmospheric and packed with museums, tearooms and history, York rewards visitors at every turn — an unmissable stop on any coach tour.
York is history you can walk straight into. Encircled by some of Europe's finest medieval walls, this compact Yorkshire city is dominated by the soaring towers of York Minster, one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in the world. Get lost in the Shambles, a narrow lane of leaning timber-framed shops, trace the city's Viking past at the Jorvik Centre, or follow the River Ouse past pretty gardens. Museums, tearooms and hidden snickelways wait around every corner.
