A weekend in York
The Minster, the walls, the Shambles — England's medieval north.
York is the best-preserved medieval city in northern England, with intact city walls, the largest Gothic cathedral north of the Alps (York Minster), and the cobbled Shambles preserved largely unchanged since the 14th century. A weekend covers the Minster, a wall walk, Jorvik Viking Centre, the National Railway Museum (free), and an evening ghost walk.
