York is one of Britain’s few remaining walled cities and once you enter these walls, you won't want to leave. York is a magical city of medieval roads, timbered buildings and soaring church towers. Many visitors are so enchanted that they choose to become permanent residents. In no particular order, here are our suggestions for things to do in and attractions in York:

Clifford’s Tower

One of York’s most immediately recognizable landmarks, Clifford’s Tower sits on a mound raised by William the Conqueror to allow him to keep an eye on the troublesome citizens.
