York, UK

The city walls extend for 2.5 miles and enclose an area of 263 acres.

As “Vikings” we wanted to take a closer look at the city of York or Jorvik as the Vikings called the city 1000 years ago!

The largest gothic cathedral in northern Europe!

It took us only 20 minutes by train from Leeds to York. In York you will find wealth of cultural attractions like York Minister , Jorvik Viking Museum among several other museums and attractions.
Discover what life was really like over 1000 years ago at the Jorvik Viking Centre!

The walls that surround the city are some of the finest and most complete city walls in England.

The walls still retain all four of their impressive gateways into the city.

Enjoy the sights of the city onboard a riverboat, or take a stroll in the narrow streets with the old charming houses. The city appears busy and romantic at the same time. Take step out of the main streets and take a drink and relax at a cosy pub.

Newgate market has 110 stalls in a market square within Europe's largest single pedestrianised area. Prominent since the Middle Ages, Newgate market is the heart and soul of the city lying between The Shambles and Parliament Street.

We really loved  York, nice atmosphere and great views!
