York Summer Holidays in York

Although the Vikings are long gone now, York has still managed to retain a lot of its medieval splendour in the way of its little cobbled streets and grand Cathedral. Just walking around York will make you feel like you have stepped back in time. With the Jorvik - Viking Center this feeling becomes even more intense, with many artifacts on display and even some live re-enactments of great Viking battles. After all the excitement, why not take a stop at the world famous 'Betty's Tea rooms' where you can sample some of the best teas and cakes Yorkshire has to offer.
