You can wonder through the cobbled streets and around the original wall that ones surrounded the city. Steeped in its rich history there are many things to learn and discover in York. With plenty of attractions to keep you entertained, weather it is the street entertainers or a visit to the Yorvik Viking center, a visit to the Cathedral, or if you dare a ghost walk at night through the heart of the city.

York offers a brilliant shopping experience, with a wide variety of shops to choice from. A lot of which are housed in magnificent old and historical buildings, which adds a rustic charm to your shopping experience. There are also many restaurant, pubs and coffee shops to choose from.

York and the surrounding area are set in fine countryside, with plenty of footpaths for exploring this beautiful landscape and the wildlife. Just a short journey up from York and you can discover the pre historical monoliths the Devils Arrows.
