York: A City Steeped In History
York
Featured Hotels
| Often described as the "last
English city", York is one of Britain's most beautiful and historic towns,
popular with tourists from around the country and overseas. Located in
North Yorkshire, at the intersection of the Rivers Ouse and Foss, the City
of York is traditionally located in a small area contained within the city
walls, with the surrounding areas known as the Ainstay. The modern city
of York, however, is much larger and contains many historic sites that
are sure to interest visitors of all ages.
Perhaps York's most famous
landmark is York Minster, the largest Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe.
As the seat of the Archbishop of York, the cathedral still maintains important
significance for the Church of England, but is just as widely seen as one
of the best examples of medieval ecclesiastical architecture in Britain.
Located in the centre of York's medieval walls, York Minster provides a
guiding landmark for both residents and visitors and offers a staggering
reminder of the city's religious and historical significance. |

The Shambles, a narrow medieval
street, is another popular area of York. Strewn with tiny shops, tea rooms
and small boutiques, the Shambles also represents an important era in York's
history. Upon closer look, the shops along the Shambles possess hooks from
which butchers used to hang meat. Furthermore, the street's charm is added
to by the fact that it contains the house of Margaret Clitherow, a martyred
saint of the Roman Catholic Church who is sometimes known as "the Pearl
of York", thus entrenching the street firmly in the context of York's turbulent
past.
