Located in northeast England, York stands out as a medieval city dating back to the 13th century. It is a walled and grand city that has stood the test of time, which gives historians and history buffs a treat. It was founded by Romans and was later home to the Vikings, making it a historic destination. It is also a cathedral city with Gothic churches. One of the most notable cathedrals has to be York Minster, which boasts being one of the largest cathedrals in Northern Europe. Shambles is also another historic site to visit. Composed of timber structures going as far back as the 14th century, the buildings at the site stand out in their uniqueness.
