Originally a Roman fort called Eboracum in AD 71, 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, other varied medieval structures such as those pictured below, 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.
