SO MUCH TO SEE AND DO!
York Minster dominates the skyline and the imagination – Britain's largest Gothic cathedral is simply breathtaking. Marvel at medieval stained glass that fills the building with coloured light, climb the 275 steps to the tower for panoramic views, explore the atmospheric undercroft revealing Roman and Norman foundations, and feel the weight of centuries in this sacred space. It's the jewel in York's crown and an absolute must-visit.
The city's medieval walls, remarkably intact at nearly three miles, provide a spectacular way to appreciate York's layout and history. Walk the complete circuit or select sections, enjoying elevated views over the city and glimpses into hidden gardens. The walls tell York's defensive story while offering one of England's finest urban walks.
The Shambles, often called Britain's most picturesque street, is a medieval wonder of overhanging timber-framed buildings that almost touch overhead. Once home to butchers (shambles means slaughterhouse), it now houses independent shops, cafes, and galleries. It's quintessentially York and endlessly photogenic.
OUR FAVOURITE THING TO DO IN & AROUND YORK
York Minster
Britain's largest Gothic cathedral and one of the world's most magnificent religious buildings. The Great East Window alone contains more medieval stained glass than any other in the world. Allow several hours to fully appreciate this masterpiece of medieval architecture and craftsmanship.
The Shambles & Medieval Streets
Wander the atmospheric medieval streets that make York so special. The Shambles is the star, but Stonegate, Petergate, and the network of narrow lanes and hidden courtyards (known as "snickelways") reward exploration. Each corner reveals another slice of York's layered history.
York's City Walls
Walk medieval walls that offer unique perspectives on the city. The section from Bootham Bar to Monk Bar provides excellent views of the Minster, while the stretch past Clifford's Tower overlooks the historic castle area. It's a three-mile circuit or pick your favorite section.
JORVIK Viking Centre
Travel back to Viking York (Jorvik) in this award-winning attraction that recreates Viking life with extraordinary detail. Built on the actual archaeological site where Viking-age buildings were discovered, it's history, archaeology, and entertainment brilliantly combined.
National Railway Museum
The world's largest railway museum houses iconic locomotives including Mallard (the world's fastest steam locomotive), the Japanese Bullet Train, and royal carriages. Free entry, exceptional displays, and guaranteed to captivate train enthusiasts of all ages during holidays in York.
York Castle Museum
Social history brought vividly to life through recreated rooms spanning 400 years, a complete Victorian street, and the prison cells that once held highwayman Dick Turpin. It's one of Britain's finest museums for experiencing everyday life through the centuries.
