York, England

Official achievement authored by Bobby Allen.

York is a walled city in northeast England that was founded by the ancient Romans. Its huge 13th-century Gothic cathedral, York Minster, has medieval stained glass and 2 functioning bell towers. The City Walls form a walkway on both sides of the River Ouse. The Monk Bar gate houses an exhibition tracing the life of 15th-century Plantagenet King Richard III.

The city of York is steeped in history and is known to be one of the most haunted city in England, when visiting York you'll be sure to notice the various "Ghost Hunt" tours that take place in the evening.

Some interesting facts about York:

  • Inspiration for the famous street (Diagon Alley) came from York itself – The Shambles helped JK Rowling to create the image of Diagon Alley in the Harry Patter novels.
  • Some of the UK's family favourite chocolates started in York. The Rowntree factory opened in the 1800’s and can be thanked for training the founder of Cadbury, who then trained the founder of Bournville. Next time you’re eating an aero bar, you can think of York.
  • Guy Fawkes, famous for trying to blow up (the English) parliament in 1605, was born in York. Just metres from the Minster is The Guy Fawkes Inn and the birth place of the man who brought us Bonfire Night.
  • There are randomly over 20 cat statues hidden all over the city centre. See if you can find them all hiding in their different spots by doing the Lucky Cat Trail. You may have to look up to spot some!
  • York prides itself on having over 365 pubs – a different one for every day of the year. You could spend an entire trip to York exploring it’s pubs and seeing what you find!

Whilst York doesn't have it's own airport, we'll be flying into Leeds-Bradford Airport airport, your passengers will then take a short taxi or coach ride to the magnificent city of York!
