From
£325
©VisitBritain/JamesMcCormick
Few cities rival the historic splendour of York and it is no wonder that it is one of our top selling destinations.
Steeped in history spanning 2000 years, York is a compact walled riverside city home to world-class attractions
including the stunning York Minster. We stay within the medieval city walls allowing you time to explore the historic
centre and its many attractions and cobbled streets lined with interesting and original shops. Don’t miss The
Shambles, perhaps the most picturesque streets in England complete with overhanging timber-framed houses
and traditional shopfronts. York Minster, one of the largest cathedrals in Northern Europe is also on the must do
list. In fact, add the excellent Jorvik Viking Centre and National Railway Museum and its easy to see why many of
our customers choose to spend all their time in the city! York - if you haven’t been - go.
