Things To Do In York, England | Medieval Streets & Hidden Gems

Video Overview & Insights

In this video, I explore York, England, one of the best preserved medieval cities in the UK! Join me on a walking tour through the cobbled streets, historic landmarks and hidden gems of this fascinating city.

We start at York Railway Station and visit the National Railway Museum, home to iconic trains like the Mallard steam locomotive and the InterCity 125. From there, we explore the city centre, including the River Ouse, Stonegate, Parliament Street and the famous Shambles — one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval streets.

Next, we visit York Minster, one of Northern Europe’s largest Gothic cathedrals, before finishing with a walk along the York City Walls, nearly two miles of historic fortifications dating back to Roman times. With over 2,000 years of history — from Roman foundations to Viking influence and medieval expansion — York is a city full of stories to discover.
