Modern
York is a prosperous and bustling city with a multi-layered history
going back at least 2000 years. Visitors can experience life from
Roman, Anglian, Viking, Medieval, Elizabethan and Victorian times to
mention just a few. Much of the historic architecture from Medieval
times onwards still survives.
The 'Jewel in the Crown' of York is its fabulous Minster - a huge
cathedral which took 252 years to build. With its picturesque city
walls, its four stone gateways (or 'bars') and its trendy shops and
pubs, York really is the perfect place to live and visit.
The 21st Century visitor has a wealth of sights and attractions to choose from. A variety of museums, both large and small, cater for many different interests - there is even a 'Richard the Third' museum!

Once you have discovered them however, you will be sure to return.Showing 1 - 1 of 1 Articles
