Fold and Fly Travel: York, PA

York, PA United Kingdom

York, graced by the heavenly Minster and bridges arching over the River Ouse and Foss, will gently entice you into its ancient, rose-colored precincts. The city has long been protected by magnificent 13th-century walls, which still stand in most parts of the city. These walls arch over the four chief gates to the city: Micklegate, Bootham, Monk, and Walmgate. Beware, in York, the streets are called gates, the gates are called bars, and the bars are called pubs. York’s enchanting mazes are crammed with sightseers, but despite the crowds, the city’s vast treasury of history is well worth exploring. A lovely introduction to York is a promenade along the city’s medieval walls. Start at Bootham Bar and walk toward Monk Bar. This is the most beautiful part of the wall, offering glimpses of the Minster through the trees. The magnificent Minster is estimated to contain more than half of the medieval stained glass in England. The Great East Window is the largest stained-glass window in the world. Ascend the 275 steps of the Lantern Tower for a broad panorama and visit the Undercroft Museum for an archaeological and architectural history of the site. The Castle Museum is a must-see; it is one of the best folk museums anywhere. Visit Kirkgate, a cobbled reconstruction of a Victorian street that will transport you back in time. A city dominated by history, York is the perfect place for those with a love of the past. But York is much more than just a heritage city; its pubs are noted for their lively atmosphere and live folk music.
