York United Kingdom

Graced by the heavenly Minster and bridges arching over the River Ouse and Foss, York will gently entice you into ancient, rose-coloured precincts. York has long been protected by magnificent 13th century walls, still standing in most parts of the city. These arch over the four chief gates to the city: Micklegate, Bootham, Monk and Walmgate. Beware, in York, the streets are called gates, the gates are called bars and the bars are called pubs. York’s enchanting mazes are crammed with sightseers, but despite the crowds, the city’s vast treasury of history is well worth exploring. A lovely introduction to York is a promenade along the city’s medieval walls. Start at Bootham Bar and walk toward Monk Bar. This is the most beautiful part of the wall, with glimpses of the Minster through the trees. The magnificent Minster is estimated to contain more than half the medieval stained glass in England. The Great East Window is the largest stained-glass window in the world. Ascend the 275 steps of Lantern tower for a broad panorama and visit the Undercroft Museum for an archaeological and architectural history of the site. The Castle Museum is a must, it is one of the best folk museums anywhere. Visit Kirkgate, a cobbled reconstruction of a Victorian street that will transport you back in time. A city dominated by history, York is the perfect place for those with a love of the past. But York is much more than just a heritage city, its pubs are noted for its lively atmosphere and live folk music.
