York

I've never been to York .

York has been known as the spiritual capital of the North. York is located about two hours, by rail, north of London. It is a wonderful, year-round get-a-way.

There is much to see and do in York . Starting with Yorkminster , you can visit the Medieval Gothic Cathedral. You can see eight-hundred years worth of stained glass windows here. You can view the sights from the tower top.

Another great place to visit is the original viking-age city of Jorvik . Here you can learn what life was like in this area thousands of years ago when the fierce vikings roamed the area.

If you'd like to experience the creepy, be sure to visit the York Dungeon . Here you will see 2000 years of gruesome history. Everything you see here really happened in that time and place.

That I'd like to see.

York is a beautiful fortified town, my Dad has friends who live there and we visit them quite a lot. If you are ever in England, York should be on your list
