York's famed gothic Minster [cathedral] in the background with the medieval - and very walkable - city wall in the foreground. The most popular urban space in Yorkshire is medieval York, for many years England's second city.
Originally a Roman fort and much battled over by varied warmongers through the years, York offers fortified, sturdy and stroll-perfect city walls, York Minster - a stupendous gothic edifice [under construction from 1220 AD] with spectacular stained glass windows, excellent museums and even a sort-of-authentic recreated Viking experience - including sounds and smells - in Jorvik; adjacent Coppergate was a genuine Viking settlement a thousand years ago.
