York
is one of the best preserved medieval walled cities in Britain. You
will find a wealth of things to see and places to go celebrating 2,000
years of (fairly disastrous) history from the Romans and Vikings to
the present day. There is the Gothic majesty of the Minster, the homely
medieval charm of the Shambles, the Castle Museum with its complete
full size Victorian street, the Jorvik Viking Centre - complete with
earthy smells!...
|
|
the
largest Railway Museum in the world not forgetting the Richard III
Museum - It is said that King Richard actually commissioned the top
story of this superb museum situated in Monk Bar (only a 2 minute
walk). You can take a guided walking / ghost tour and discover hidden
treasures, or sit back on a Bus Tour or River Cruise. You can walk
on the City Walls or meander through a maze of Snickelways (alleyway).
