Reviews of York Attractions »

Jorvik centre: York

Advantages: Very good attraction!!
Disadvantages: Expensive!

The Jorvik center is if you didn't know, situated in the center of York, Yorkshire. Its one of the main attractions in the city and brings in hundreds of tourists and school visitors. The Jorvik Centre (pronounced Yorvic), is a real acheaology site, where the Vikings of York lived thousands of years ago. Its a museum with a twist though, as with "normal" museums, you walk around, you read signs and miss most things, especially if you have kids with ...
...all a trip to the Jorvik centre won't last you much longer than an hour, if your lucky, which is not long at all seeing as you pay £8.50 per adult, and £6 per child, but it is well worth the trip! It gives you something just that little bit extra than just the same old museum. And it really gives you a new view on York itself. The museum itself was "found" around 1984, when a new building was been built on the site, when the builders stumbled upon ...

York Minster-the heart and soul of York

Advantages: magnificent architecture reflecting over a thousand years of history and religion.
Disadvantages: none that I can see.

...VI said “The history of York is the history of England. I don’t know how right he was, but I would like to say the history of York Minster is the history of York indeed. General information York Minster is Northern Europe's largest remaining medieval church, also one of the world's great masterpieces in design and construction. Back in AD 627 York's first Minster was built to christen the Anglo Saxon King, Edwin of Northumbria. It was originally ...
...What you can see York Minster is very important within the Church of England. It is the seat of the Archbishop of York, who is the most prominent bishop after the Archbishop of Canterbury. As the second largest Gothic cathedral in Europe, it is 158 metres long and 60 metres high. Besides admiring the magnificent buildings there are certainly a lot of things to see. Here I have selected just a few that attracted me the most. 1. The Rose Window The ...

Mixed feelings about St Nicholas's Fayre

Advantages: Lovely medieval setting
Disadvantages: It could have been a whole lot better

...markets that takes place in York during the festive period. Established back in 1992 it is the largest of them all and attracts the greatest number of visitors. It takes place over a four day period during either the last weekend of November or the first weekend of December. The 2008 event took place between Thursday 27th November and December 1st. Having just been to this market I thought that I would share my experience with you. I arrived about ...
...The crowds at York were also too much for me, I expected it to be busy but it was absolutely impossible to get near to a lot of the stalls and it certainly wasn't possible to just stroll around and browse with people pushing and shoving from every direction. There are stalls in almost all of the squares that you pass. The goods they were selling ranged from arts and crafts and clothes to locally grown food and of course there were hot dogs and mulled ...

The York Dungeon - A Fantastic Day Out

Advantages: Enthusiastic cast; special effects; lasted a long time; small queues
Disadvantages: 'Ride' was poor; closes early; it is scary, makes you jump

... GETTING TO YORK DUNGEON, AND PARKING The trusty Sat Nav got us all the way to York Dungeons, although it was quite well sign posted from the main roads. Parking was a bit of a nightmare - I had only bought cash along with me, with about £7 in change, assuming that the carpark would cost around £6 or £7 to stay for a few hours. It ended up costing about £10 - £11, so we ended up having to walk to find a shop to buy something so I could get ...
...York, and not the actual York Dungeons carpark - they don't have one. This wasn't a big deal, just a little infuriating that it meant we then had to waste time going to get some change, but I did notice on the back of the carpark ticket was a voucher for the dungeons for something like £7 off entry price, but we didn't use this, as we already had our voucher from SKY. Find the actual Dungeon was slightly tricky! There were sign posts, but it was ...

My 10 Snapshots of the National Railway Museum

Advantages: free entrance, fantastic collection of railway related memorabilia.
Disadvantages: none that I could see.

The National Railway Museum (often shortened to NRM) in York has been open to the public since 1975, and now has become one of the largest and richest collections of railway related material in the world. It has won many awards including the European Museum of the Year Award in 2001. NRM is located in Leeman Road, next to York railway station. There are three main areas open to visitors: Great Hall, Station Hall and Outdoor Play Area. Historically ...
...is the largest in the National Collection. The engine was made in Britain and was used in China. Now it has sailed around half of the globe to be back in the country where it was built. I was delighted to be able to see a display from China, in particular when I read the Chinese writing inside the cab. Snapshot 6: Japanese Bullet Train (as known as Shinkansen) It is the only Japanese Bullet Train outside Japan and it represents one part of the ...
