The Minster and its mediaeval walls, boat cruises on the River Ouse, York Races, museums, and the internationally known Jorvik Viking Centre and its “time journey” experience are just a few of the attractions in York. Whether it’s summer or winter, there’s something to keep the whole family entertained. Explore York’s charming alleyways and hidden corners, or travel farther afield to the Yorkshire Dales, the North York Moors, or the coastal towns of Scarborough, Whitby, and Filey. Harewood House and Castle Howard are just two of the many stately mansions in Yorkshire, both of which are within an hour’s drive. York, a bicycle city with two theatres, charming bars, and excellent shopping, has it everything.
