Rute

1. You've seen the Minster. You've walked the Shambles. You've heard the Viking stories. But what if those aren't the stories that tell you what York was really like? The Other York is an alternative history of the city, told through the people, places, crimes, disasters, beliefs and everyday lives that usually disappear from the tourist trail. This is not a ghost tour. It isn't a traditional sightseeing tour. And it isn't a collection of gruesome stories designed simply to shock you. It's an invitation to investigate York. YORK HAS A SECRET HISTORY Every street has a story. Sometimes it is written on a plaque. Sometimes it survives in an old street name. Sometimes it appears in a newspaper report. Sometimes it survives only as a rumour passed from one generation to another. And sometimes nobody knows what really happened. Your guide will take you through the evidence and let you decide what you believe.

About York

York is a walled cathedral city in northern England, a place of Roman and Viking history, medieval lanes and a vast Gothic minster.

York Minster, among the largest Gothic cathedrals in northern Europe, towers over the city, and its stained glass includes the Great East Window, one of the biggest areas of medieval glass in the country. Medieval walls, the longest in England, encircle the old centre and can be walked along the top. The Shambles, a narrow lane of leaning timber-framed buildings, was once the street of butchers.
