One of the best ways to explore York is on foot. A stroll down any snickelway, wall or ings opens you up to a whole world of discovery. This year, in conjunction with Welcome to Yorkshire’s #Walkshire campaign, we’re encouraging people to Love Walking in York.
If you are in Yorkshire and looking for things to do in York England, then watch our video as we walk through the centre of this incredible place, taking in the sights and sounds of the streets here.
The first thing that strikes you about York when you arrive here is just how beautiful and ancient it all feels. It really is like stepping into another world on some streets, most notably the famous Shambles and the area around York Minster
York England is a walled city in northeast England that was founded by the ancient Romans. Its huge 13th-century Gothic cathedral, York Minster, has medieval stained glass and 2 functioning bell towers. The City Walls form a walkway on both sides of the River Ouse. The Monk Bar gate houses an exhibition tracing the life of 15th-century Plantagenet King Richard III.
York is worth visiting at least once if you are in Yorkshire. The city has several historic landmarks and has a very romantic and scenic old town. With attractions like visiting the York Minster, the chocolate factory, the historic castle walls or the Shambles, you are in for a treat.
York was founded in 71 AD when Cerialis and the Ninth Legion constructed a military fortress (castra) on flat ground above the River Ouse near its junction with the River Foss. The fortress was later rebuilt in stone, covered an area of 50 acres, and was inhabited by 6,000 soldiers.
Perfectly placed half-way between London and Edinburgh and with the glorious Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors and Wolds right on the doorstep, York England is unlike any other English city. There’s thirty world-class museums you can explore, the best racecourse in the country and a thriving cultural scene, not forgetting, York is voted the best place to live in the UK by the Sunday Times. So, what are you waiting for? Book your break to York England and create your own adventure!
Like stepping back into the middle ages, the overhanging timber-framed houses and traditional shopfronts of The Shambles makes it one of the UK’s most historic (and picturesque) streets.
You can’t miss York Minster, one of the largest cathedrals in Northern Europe and also one of the most beautiful gothic cathedrals in the world.
You can reach York from London by train in 2 hours. Or from the city of Leeds, it is just a 20-minute train ride.
A place of extraordinary cultural wealth, visit York and you’ll discover a beautifully preserved medieval city that’s a must for York England history buffs. Step 2,000 years into the past as you wander the Gothic halls of York Minster Cathedral, delve into the city’s Viking past at the annual Jorvik Viking Festival, or explore history of a different kind at the National Railway Museum.
Trace the footsteps of William the Conquerer and enjoy mesmerising views from Clifford’s Tower, or dip into the eclectic array of independent boutiques nestled in the postcard-pretty 13th century timber buildings of The Shambles - York’s most beautiful street. Add to that a buzzing foodie scene and some of Britain’s most stunning scenery, and you’ll soon see why York’s the place to be. This guide to York should give you an idea of what it's like to wander the streets of York in the city centre of York England.
York is one of the most popular places to visit in the UK, and it’s no surprise - spend a day in York and chances are you’ll have walked past every type of architecture from every era in human history.

I’ve enjoyed your walks round Haworth, Holmfirth and now York. Is it sunny everywhere you go!? Back in the 1980s I lived in Cheshire and my girlfriend lived in Edinburgh. We each took the train and met up in York for a few days every so often. Much time was spent in Taylor’s Tea Rooms on Stonegate. Happy days... haven’t been back since so nice to see it all again!

Can't wait to get back to York at some point. And recommend a tour of the York chocolate factory, its very interesting and full of history.. Then end up in the shop and buy loads of fattening chocolates 😉
