York

The ancient city of York has much to offer visitors. The York city walls are the most intact medieval wall in the United Kingdom and make York a memorable destination. The York Minster is the largest gothic cathedral in northern Europe and the site of the second most powerful bishop in the Anglican realm.

Visitors to York will be captivated by the Shambles in the busy centre of York. This narrow, long, winding and fascinating cobbled street with fifteenth century buildings leaning across at each other is crowded with interesting shops and inns. It is a major European tourist attraction and makes York an unmissable destination. 

Families in York are well served by York Football Club, University of York, The York City Council, York Minster School, York Hospitals Trust, Nuffield Hospital York, York Rugby Club and York Hockey Club. Culture lovers will value the Theatre Royal York, York Musical Theatre Company and Playback Theatre York.
