Why visit York?
The history of York is the story of England in stone, wood and chocolate. Western Christianity was born here, so was the KitKat. No other place in Britain preserves so much of the country's past in such a concise area. From the Romans to the Vikings and the Railways, the streets of York are a living picture book of 2000 years of history.
