Attractions The City of York
York existed when the Romans arrived around 97 AD, they fortified the town and made it a major centre - you can still visit the Roman Baths in a city centre pub today! The Roman Emperor - Constantine the Great was enthroned in York Minster around 300 AD and York has remained the major capital city of the North of England ever since.
With the decline of the Romans - the Vikings took York, and the remains of the Viking Streets can be seen even now.
The current Minster dates from 627 AD and took some 250 years to build, the largest of its type in Europe, it attracts visitors from far and wide.
Later Kings and Queens used York as their capital in the North, before modern communications, and York was an important stronghold for them all - laid siege to during the Civil War, the City Walls have seen much blood spilt.
The City is now far more peaceful, but with the wide range of historic and modern attractions available - remains the capital city of the North.

The National Railway Museum The Jorvik Viking Centre
