The historic capital of an ancient Viking, Celtic and Roman melting pot is the proud walled city of York. The York Minster is the largest Gothic cathedral in northern Europe and the vast array of medieval churches is rivalled only by the number of pubs full of character and fine ales. Squeezed within rugged Roman walls, the city is full of exciting treasures and contrasting features.
