The city of York, situated within the Northeast of the UK, is an ancient and beautiful city. Popular with tourists, if you’re thinking of visiting there are some things that can’t be missed – luckily, this list is here to tell you about them.
York Minster
Boasting over 800 years of history, the cathedral in the center of the city is stunning. It does cost money to enter, but you will be rewarded with a view of one of the most stunning church interiors in Europe. Don’t miss the Undercroft, a museum space set beneath the Minster, which hosts many of the artefacts found on site, some of which date back over 2000 years!
Explore the Shambles
The Shambles is the name given to the series of winding, twisting, medieval-era streets that are found close by the Minster. Expect to find all manner of wonderful shops, cafes, pubs and curios here. It’s claimed that these interesting streets provided the inspiration for Diagon Alley in Harry Potter.
The Ouse
The Ouse river runs right through York, and is crossed by several bridges. Spend some time gazing at its waters, or go for a stroll along the river edge. There are plenty of cafes and bakeries along the river, ready to provide you with a snack should you need one.
