Vikings, Romans, Guy Fawkes, highwaymen, and allegedly more spooks than any haunted city in Europe, York is built upon might and intrigue. Visitors have known this for decades, however they may now notice an adventurous new undercurrent. Superbly preserved, York has witnessed more than 2000 years of vibrant history – with its cobbled streets and snickleways, welcoming inns, restaurants and candlelit churches. A city layered with history, beauty and variety.
