The ghosts of Roman legionaries, Viking raiders and Saxon princes still seem to linger in York’s cobbled streets. With its medieval spires and ramparts, this is a city for lovers of English history and heritage. However, the narrow lanes of York’s historic centre also offer lively bars, riverside cafés and trendy boutiques.


The River Ouse winds its way through York. The oldest part of the city lies on the east bank, with newer districts across the river.

A three-mile ring of ancient walls, pierced by fortified gateways such as Monk’s Bar, defines York’s historic centre, where the spires of York Minster soar above streets skirted by half-timbered houses.

Three blocks north of the river, High Petergate, Low Petergate and The Shambles link end to end to create the old town’s main thoroughfare. These streets are lined with boutiques and antiques shops.

Most of York’s compact city centre is pedestrianised during the day, so exploring on foot is a pleasure. Lendal Bridge and Ouse Bridge carry traffic across the river.

Gothic gargoyles gaze over the city from the spires of the 13th-century York Minster. Within this huge yet serene church is the Great East Window, the world’s largest medieval stained-glass window. If you’re feeling fit, you can climb the 275 steps to the top of the Minster’s central tower for panoramic views of the city and surrounding countryside.

For more vistas, it is possible to climb the ramparts at the 13th-century Clifford’s Tower, the only surviving remains of a castle built by William the Conqueror.

You can find out about York’s pagan past at Jorvik Viking Centre, built on the site of a Viking settlement dating from more than 1,000 years ago.

Portraits of rich and powerful figures from York’s past hang in the 14th-century Merchant Adventurers’ Hall.

For a change of historical pace, you can cross Lendal Bridge to Holgate and the National Railway Museum, with its collection of gleaming steam locomotives and carriages.

Walking with ghosts. Some claim that more than 500 phantoms haunt the city, making York the spookiest place in England.

Seeing the city from the top deck of a river cruiser or piloting your own motorboat on the Ouse.

Dressing up for a day at the races. York Racecourse is one of England’s most famous flat racing venues. The equestrian season peaks in August with the Ebor Festival. Stylish hats are de rigueur.

Hearing the choir at York Minster – the pure voices of the Minster’s boy and girl choristers are a joy.

York’s historic centre, inside its ring of walls, is full of hotels, inns and restaurants with rooms. Many are housed in ancient buildings that have been turned into stylish places to sleep.

Racing fans, business travellers and visitors to concerts and trade fairs at York Racecourse can stay at hotels on Tadcaster Road, next to this busy venue. A couple of miles south of the city centre, this part of town is only a short bus or taxi ride from York’s train station.

Travelling by car? You’ll find no-frills hotels with free parking handily located in suburbs like Hopgrove, next to the A64 highway, which links York with Leeds and Scarborough. Hopgrove is also close to the park-and-ride facilities at Monk’s Cross Shopping Park, with fast and frequent bus services to the city centre.

York has a well-earned reputation as one of England’s gastronomic capitals.

Its restaurants serve produce and wild game from the rich farming country and wild moorlands nearby. The North Sea is not far off, so freshly caught seafood also appears on many menus. Other favourite local flavours include dry-cured York ham, which has a distinctive crumbly texture.

You’ll find contemporary European bistros and café-bars in the city centre and overlooking the River Ouse. Tex-Mex, Turkish, Indian, Thai and Chinese eateries are also dotted around The Shambles and Stonegate, in the town centre.

Traditional tea shops and cafés supply pots of Yorkshire tea, while confectioners sell mouth-watering chocolates.

York Food Festival, each September, is the high point of the city’s culinary calendar. Events include wine tastings, cookery classes and chef demonstrations.

Sinfully sweet chocolates – sample them at places like Chocolate Heaven and York Cocoa House, on the York Chocolate Trail.

Afternoon tea – York ham sandwiches, fat rascals (scones filled with almonds and candied cherries) and Yorkshire clotted cream are essential accompaniments to a pot of strong Yorkshire tea.

Seasonal game from the North York Moors – wild grouse, pheasant and partridge appear on restaurant menus in summer and autumn.
