Itinerary
In this simple little piazza we'll uncover the story of the man who helped preserve the city of York as we know it today.
Once home to Henry VIII and Charles I, if these walls could talk, we'll tell you what they'd say!
We will travel under one of York's great city gates and find out which surprising confection got its' start right here.
We'll travel around the entirety of York Minster, the largest gothic cathedral in Northern Europe. You'll hear the stories of those who created it - and those who tried to destroy it. (External visit only.)
Hear one of York's best known ghost stories at this haunted Jacobean manor. (External visit only.)
The tallest of York's defences and once used as a prison and site of public announcements in the Medieval era. Find out who was kept here and why the portcullis got stuck.
This charming Tudor building masks a scandalous past... (External visit only - this building is not open to the public.)
York was once the northern most region of the Roman Empire. Here we will hear the story of the rulers who called it home 2,000 yeas ago.
See the childhood home of one of York's most notorious figures and find out how he is still celebrated - and vilified - today. (External visit only.)
This charming pedestrianised street was once the hub of progress in the city and today holds an array of fascinating shops and pubs.
Once home of the Lord Mayor of York, this grand medieval building was once thought lost to time. Restored to its' former glory, it offers a literal glimpse of what life was like for wealthy medieval residents of the city. (External visit only although we can view the Great Hall.)

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.
