Nestled in the North of England, between the scenic Wolds and the rugged Pennines, York is one of the most charming holiday destinations in the UK. Originally founded by the Romans in 71 AD, the city thrives with a rich history and wonderful culture, offering an endless array of excursions and experiences to enjoy. But there’s more to York than ancient history…
In 1970, excavations revealed an incredible Viking settlement. Visiting the Jorvik Viking Centre allows you to fully immerse yourself in history. Here, the sights and smells of the 9th century are brought back to life through a unique interactive exhibition.
A coach holiday to York invites you to step back in time as you explore winding cobbled streets, magnificent medieval castles, traditional shop fronts, the stone wall that surrounds the city and much more.
