Choose a city
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 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. The keep was destroyed 1109 but the current structure dates from 1245. Great views of the city and surrounding countryside. Phone 01904 646940 for more details.

York Minster

Yorkshire’s most famous building, York Minster is one of the largest cathedrals in the United Kingdom. A stunning building that everyone should really take the time to see. Entry to the cathedral is free although most people make a small donation. For further details call 01904 557216 or go to www.yorkminster.org

York Dungeons

Torture and death aplenty at one of the Yorkshire's most popular tourist attractions. A fascinating and frightening experience. Admission is £9.95 for adults and £5.95 for children for 10am to 5pm in April to September. During the winter the dungeons open from 10.30am to 4.30pm.
