Beste Bewertungen Attraktionen In York

Suchradius (Meilen)
The City Walls

York is at its most picturesque in springtime when the daffodils are blooming. These beautiful spring flowers enhance the earthen ramparts, which were razed by the Romans and the Anglo-Danish kings of York but strengthened later by the Normans. There are miles of encircling medieval wall which has been carefully maintained and restored over the centuries and which still has considerable remnants of the original Roman walls integrated with and strengthened by the medieval structures. The entrance to the walls is free and they are open during daylight hours.

Joseph Rowntree Theatre

The Joseph Rowntree Theatre, named for the great philanthropic family, is a community theater rather than one hosting slick professional productions. It offers a venue for local theater companies to perform plays, opera and even dance performances. In 2010 it celebrated its 75th anniversary, so its longevity is beyond question. Holding over 350, it can fill quite easily for some events, and is a very affordable place to stage community arts events, something every city needs. The Rowntree Theatre is not only a good venue, but is also one that hosts great performances.

York Minster

Countless riveting details come together to form the glorious York Minster, a masterpiece of Gothic design and ecclesiastical art. Built between 1220 and 1480, the cathedral features among northern Europe's largest medieval churches and is the seat of the Archbishop of York. Originally a 7th-century chapel built for the baptism of King Edwin of Northumbria, excavations have revealed the vestiges from the Norman and Roman periods as well, shedding light on its long and eventful history as a religious center. The intricate facade is aptly matched by an equally lavish interior, its design spanning the breadth of the Gothic period with elements of the Early English, Decorated and Perpendicular styles enmeshed with one another. Of special note is the cathedral's stained glass windows, with the Great East Window being the world's largest span of medieval glass. High above it all arch the striking vaulted ceilings of the York Minster, the United Kingdom's grande dame of Gothic architecture.

National Railway Museum

This is all about the history of railways in York, right from the 19th Century till date. More than a 100 locomotives form an integral part of this museum. Permanent exhibitions like the Palaces on Wheels, allow you a glimpse into the lavish pre-Victorian railway saloons. A comprehensive collection of records, documents, videos, films, photos is also on display. Take your kids for a ride on the miniature railway or just let them loose in the play area. Don't forget to visit the restaurant, the research center and the gift shop.

The Shambles

This is the most famous street in York and the only one to be listed in the Domesday book. It's quaint and very picturesque with its narrow cobbled streets known as "Snickelways" and the timbered shops leaning so close they nearly touch each other. The street probably gets its name from the low wide shelves called 'shammels' on which the butchers displayed their meat. Now it's a street of souvenir and coffee shops.

Castle Howard

Situated north of York, Castle Howard is an exemplary and stately English home. This 18th-century abode served as the ancestral home of the Howards. While the interiors of this palatial structure are bedecked with fine furnishings and an impressive collection of art, the environs of the castle boast many awe-inspiring gems too. The dense woodlands and serene lakefronts are among the major attractions of the castle estate. The 18th-century walled Rose garden and the ornamental vegetable garden are unmissable on-site attractions too. A land-train takes young visitors to the adventure playground nearby, while the host of cafés and gift shops promise to keep the adults entertained.
