York for the Day, Yorkshire

Founded in 71 AD, York has a rich history awaiting to be discovered. York Minister is a huge 13th century gothic cathedral that towers over the city, whose walls provide a pathway for relaxing walks on both sides of the picturesque River Ouse. With a wealth of attractions, York also has a thriving shopping scene, including the famous Shambles.

Here’s our recommendations of what to see and do whilst visiting...

York Minster Cathedral - one of England’s finest Gothic cathedrals.

• Inside, you can see incredible stained-glass windows, medieval stonework, and the Chapter House.

• If you’re up for it, climb the tower (there are many steps) to get panoramic views over York’s rooftops and rooftops of the city walls.

Walk the City Walls & Stroll the Shambles - two of York’s most atmospheric “walkable” experiences.

• Walk the York city walls: These are some of the most complete medieval city walls in England. Walking parts (or all) of them offers lovely views over the city, its churches, river, and old streets.

• Stroll through The Shambles: This narrow, timber-framed street is quintessential York. It feels like stepping into a medieval town, full of character, quirky shops, cafés, and photo-worthy nooks.

*Please Note: The above are suggestions only, they might not all be within walking distance from your drop off point.
