York
The jewel in York's crown is
unquestionably its towering Cathedral. The magnificent
Minster dominates York and has towered over the little
streets and houses of the old town for centuries. The
Minster was started at the beginning of the 13th-century by
Archbishop Walter de Grey
 and
about 250 years later the hugh 230ft central tower was
completed. This house of God is awe-inspiring and of
breathtaking grandeur, it contains many treasures and it's
glorious windows are said to contain more than half the
medieval stained glass in England. The 100 windows cover a
period of 800 years and the oldest window is said to date
around 1150. The cathedral contains exquisite statues,
intricate carvings and fine brasses, it is of immense
splendour and it is not therefore surprising that each day
sees it thronged with hundreds of visitors from all corners
of the world. It is indeed the finest Gothic cathedral in
England.
Another vista of pure delight is The Shambles. It is
perhaps, the most famous medieval street in the country and
certainly one of the best
 preserved of it's kind in Europe.
The countless visitors who throng the Minster all find their
way to The Shambles and Stonegate where medieval buildings
of all shapes and sizes cling together as if for support.
York has a long history that dates back to the days when it
was Capital of a British province under the Romans. Today,
the city of York remains the most important city in the
north of England with reminders everywhere of a great
historic and cultural past. There are buildings from all
periods of history, and of special interest are the old city
walls which are a fascinating reminder of the age of this
great city.
Latter day history of York is strongly linked to the
railways and the National Railway Museum is home to some
grand old locomotives and rolling stock.
York has many churches, abbey's, grand houses and halls that
are of great historical value and to see and enjoy all that
York has to offer will take time. Your visit here should not
be a hurried trip,
 it should be a time of leisure in which
to drink deep of all the blessings bestowed on this
beautiful place.
There is some commanding countryside in these parts and you
are not far from the famous Moors. The lovely River Ouse
flows through York and several pubs and inns can be found
interspersed in local villages on the river banks. There is
an good race-course and a nearby golf course. For shopping
you have the delights of The Shambles as well as all the
known High St stores.
The City offers excellent hotels and some very fine
restaurants.
