A Very Brief History of York
Some two thousand years ago, a Roman legion marched north through England and made a fort where two rivers met. Vikings invaded eight centuries after. (I said it was going to be brief)
In fact, every period in history has left its trace on York in one way or another. Today the city is brimming with cutting-edge art galleries, interactive ride-through, revamped chocolate factories, and Victorian tearooms aline the cobbled alleys. (and expensive car parks. lol) As well as an unmissable Medieval Minister, haunted pubs, and many fascinating museums.
There are multiple reasons to visit York. Some of them are:
York minister: if you think you have the stamina, you can test yourself to walk up the 275-step spiral stairs to the city’s top. This is at the top of York Minster’s Central Tower. It is so tall and large that it is said it can easily swallow the Leaning Tower of Pisa whole.
The contemporary art scene: Many artists work in York today, and many Art Galleries display their art. But there is no better way to explore creativity in York than by going to the annual Open Studios. Not only do you get to see the artist’s latest works, but you can also meet the artists themselves, and get to have noise around their studios too. (Sometimes with tea and cake)
Wonder Down the Shambles: with its overhanging half-timbered houses, these photogenic medieval streets inspired the building of Diagon Alley for the famous Harry Potter series.
At one time, the Shambles were full of 15th-century butchers. But today, these narrow streets and cobbled lanes are filled with vintage cafes, artisanal chocolatiers, and more consumer delights.
(Do try the freshly baked scones and Flax and Twine above the little antique store). It is easier to imagine the Ollivander’s wand shop tucked between them.
A shiver-inducing ghost walk: York is said to be England’s most haunted city, and the Golden Fleece is Yorks’s most phantom-infested pub and so is a must if you fancy an eerie pint.
The Original Ghost Walk of York company is the first to offer ghost walks in York, but I felt you knew that! Spooky! They will thrill you with wonderful tales, like when a police officer heard funeral music late at night coming from St Crux Church when there was no one there. Or the murdered orphans that still haunt Bedren Hall.
Whatever experience you are looking for, you are bound to find it in the beautiful city of York.
