Highlights
A great, unique and memorable Tour of the city of YORK, the most spectacular Medieval city in YORKSHIRE AND the North of England. Founded by the Romans in 71 AD, York was occupied by Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, and invaded by the Normans! Its great Gothic Cathedral: the York Minster, the ruins of a Medieval Monastery, its Castle, its wall, and public gardens, Georgian and Victorian Architecture... something to discover and explore at every step during our walk. One of the most photogenic and picturesque cities in the UK. York still preserves a large group of buildings, churches and market for more than 600 years, taking us on a journey to the Middle Ages. Let's climb the defensive wall, and walk a portion of this magnificent structure, with the best views of the city.

Itinerary
Ruins of Medieval St Mary's Abbey, within the gardens of the Yorkshire Museum.
Medieval Street, next to the market. The best collection of medieval houses and 'snickelways' alleys more than 600 years old, inspiration for scenes from 'Harry Potter'
Mansion house, or residence of the Mayor, and former gateway to the Roman Fort, today with very fine buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, with businesses, bars and restaurants.
We ascend the defensive wall of the city, a formidable Medieval structure of almost 4 km, very well preserved, exploring some of the access gates to the city of York.
We stop to admire this spectacular building completed in 1360 AD. For centuries, this construction has been the center of commerce for the city's great merchants. A medieval gem in the middle of the city.
An icon of medieval York: the Great Tower of what was the Castle erected since 1066 AD, when William the Conqueror began his reign of England
One of the largest Gothic Cathedrals in Europe, an impressive building built between the 13th and 15th centuries, seat of the Archbishopric of York, located on the ruins of the Roman fort.
Another medieval building not to be missed, standing for 600 years, part of the York Minster complex. Beautiful construction of a York that prospered a lot.
York was founded by the Roman Empire 1900 years ago, and today we can see one of the towers that enclosed a military garrison that housed 5,500 soldiers.
Do you want 'Medieval'? We pass in front of this spectacular 14th century house, and thus we understand how York had so much influence many centuries ago!

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.
Top-ranked sights in York: York Minster, Clifford's Tower, The Shambles.
