    UNDERSTAND YORK:

    York was known as Eboracum by the Romans, who founded the fortress city on the River Ouse in 71 AD. York was home first to the Ninth Legion and later the Sixth. York quickly became one of the most important cities in Roman Britain and after 211 AD became the capital of the province Britannia Inferior.

    Constantine the Great - later responsible for making Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire - was first proclaimed Emperor in the city.

    Captured by the Vikings in 866 AD, the city quickly took on a new identity as Jorvik (pronounced "Yor-vik") and experienced a major urban revival as a centre of Viking trade and settlement in northern England. The Coppergate excavations of the 1970s revealed much of this Viking past.



    WHAT TO SEE IN YORK:

  • York Minster. The largest Gothic cathedral in northern Europe. Open Mo-Sa 9am-4.45pm & 5:30pm-6:30pm; Su 12 noon-3:45pm & 4:30pm-6:30pm. £3-5.

  • Jorvik Viking Centre. An amazing recreation of the Viking settlement at York, on the site of the Coppergate archaeological excavations of the 1970s. Not to be missed. Open 10am-4pm every day except Christmas period. £5-7.

  • the National Railway Museum. The largest railway museum in the world, responsible for the conservation and interpretation of the British national collection of historically significant railway vehicles and other artefacts. Contains an unrivalled collection of locomotives, rolling stock, railway equipment, documents and records.

  • the ruins of St Mary's Abbey in Museum Gardens, near the Minster - a great place for a picnic.

  • The King's Manor, now part of York University, previously a royal headquarters

  • Clifford's Tower, open daily 10am-4pm (closed 24-26 December and 1 January), entry £2.50, concessions available (English Heritage members free) - this imposing "tower" represents the medieval castle of York, located in the centre of town, originally built by William the Conqueror to subdue the rebellious north, then rebuilt by Henry III in the 13th century. Fantastic panoramic views of York and the surrounding countryside from the top of the tower.

  • the Merchant Adventurers' Hall, Fossgate, admission £2.50 - built 1357-1361 and of international importance, this building is Europe's finest medieval Guildhall and scheduled as an ancient monument. Nowhere else can be seen in one building the three rooms serving the three functions of a medieval guild: business, charity and religion. Above is the superb timbered Great Hall, below is the Undercroft or Hospital and Chapel. Audi guides available.

  • Eboracum Legion Bathhouse, Roman Bath Public House, open daily 10am-5pm, entry £2, concessions available - a great venue for food, drink and entertainment - complete with a Roman period bathhouse in the cellar. One of York's oldest attractions, visitors can see the remains of ancient York, with insights into Roman military life and hygiene...

  • York Dungeon, Definitely worth the entrance price, however check out the pubs before hand, while we visited we found 2 for 1 beer mats in the Kings Arms, a pub on the banks of the River Ouze near the Yorkboat landing (Kings Straith)
