Body Suite


City-centre health and beauty centre
York Barbican Centre
Barbican Road
York YO10 4NT
United Kingdom
+44 1904 63 9513
In our stress-filled modern world, techniques such as aromatherapy and massage are often employed to ease away our troubles, and this health and beauty centre in the middle of York can certainly offer that. An impressive selection of beauty and relaxation treatments are available here, such as reflexology, facial cleansing and Indian head massage. Some may be doubtful of the benefits, but there is certainly enough here to choose from should any sceptics be willing to take the plunge. And if you're feeling brave enough, then waxing is available for both men and women.

Prices are around £15 for most sessions.

Clifford's Tower


York's castle
Tower St
York YO1 9SA
United Kingdom
+44 1904 646 940
http://www.cliffordstower.com
Cliffords Tower, one of York's most impressive landmarks, is perched on a hill in the centre of the city. There are many steps to negotiate in order to get to the entrance, but once inside you can climb to the very top of the tower and walk around within the walls—the view of the city from here is quite stunning. Read and discover the Towers darkest secrets of how the original timber castle, built by William the Conqueror, later became the site of the massacre of hundreds of Jews.

Military Museum


The Royal Dragoon Guards on display
3A Tower Street
York YO1 1SB
United Kingdom
+44 1904 66 2790
This is a very special museum, situated opposite Clifford's Tower in the centre of York. Three hundred years of British fighting history are here on display. If you enjoy pageantry then this is the place to visit. The splendour of the uniforms, brilliantly displayed in all their colourful glory, the weapons used; the medals won; the battles fought, all of which made Great Britain the Empire that it was, are brought to life for the visitor. Admission: adults £2, senior citizens and children £1

York Dungeons


A representation of tortures through the ages
12 Clifford Street
York, York YO1 1RD
United Kingdom
+44 19 0463 2599
http://www.thedungeons.com
York Dungeons is an animated waxworks museum depicting tortures through the ages. Not for the fainthearted. Follow the gruesome guides on a tour of York's plague ridden streets as they were in the 14th century and watch out for the rats, the carriers of the plague. See Dick Turpin, England's most famous highwayman, awaiting the hangman's noose. Hear him boasting of his adventures with Black Bess and then witness his last moments before his death by hanging. Learn about the phantom Roman Legion that will continue to haunt this city for all eternity as they have done for the last 2000 years. Admission: adults GBP6.95; children GBP4.95; concessions GBP4.95; family tickets GBP21.
