The city of York is England's finest example of a medieval town -- so well-preserved that it looks like you took a wrong turn somewhere back in 1335 and got stuck in time when you walk down these narrow lanes line with the ancient original buildings it's like walking through an outdoor museum but it's very much lively and functioning city.
So well-preserved that it's become one of the world’s most interesting historic cities with a rich mix of activities for the visitor.
This town is surrounded by its original medieval high stone walls that protected it from attackers in the past and since then it's protected the town from modernization because you'll find that the old historic area within these walls is looking like it's about 500 years old and many of the buildings in fact are older.
We’re showing highlights of our visit, the very best of York, one of the finest towns in the UK.
