 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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Majestic ruins |
Museum Street (York Museum Gardens) York YO24 1AQ United Kingdom +44 1904 64 3238 |
St. Mary's Abbey was once the most powerful and wealthiest monastery in the North of England. The abbey and its religious order were influential and prosperous landowners, until the reign of Henry VIII, when the Dissolution of the Monasteries Act brought an end to the prosperity. In 1539 the abbey was closed by order of the crown and all property was confiscated. The remains of the abbey are still a very impressive sight and are located in the grounds of the Yorkshire Museum Gardens. Admission to the gardens is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A magnificent landmark |
Deangate York YO1 7HH United Kingdom +44 1904 55 7216 http://www.yorkminster.org |
Centrally situated, the famous York Minster is visible from much of the city. It has three towers and is the fifth church to be built on this particular site. It's the largest Gothic Cathedral in Northern Europe and dates right back to medieval times, although excavations have unearthed Norman, Roman and Viking beginnings. See for yourself the wonderful 14th and 15th century stained glass, including the famous Rose Window. Admission to the main body of the Minster is free, although contributions to the York Minister Fund and Friends of York Minister are welcome. Review © 2007, Wcities |
