| Synopsis: |
By the Middle-Ages, York was the most powerful and prosperous town in northern England. Much of the medieval city can still be seen today, in many buildings, on the streets and all along the ramparts of the city wall, from where you can glimpse the massive medieval Minster rising above the rooftops. At the same time, don't miss the many fine examples of Georgian architecture, built in the 18th century when York became the elegant social capital of the north. Add to this a wide variety of quality shops and places to eat, and you will see why York is so popular with visitors. But the great news is that the city has not let world-class quality go to its head. You can expect a genuinely warm welcome in York. |
