A city with a history that can be traced back 1900 years, York is famous for many things, and perhaps most of all for its Minster which is the largest gothic cathedral in Europe.

York is a really beautiful city with much to recommend it, and Easter is wonderful time to visit as the daffodils around the ancient city walls will be in full bloom.

A handful of recommendations for those of you who have a few days in the city:

York Minster
Yorvik Centre
Royal Dragoon Guards Regimental Museum
National Railway Museum
York Castle Museum
The Shambles
