Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in York

The ancient Roman city of York, once the proud Northern capital of the Holy Roman Empire, is now popular with tourists who like to visit the Roman ruins and spend hours inside the magnificent Cathedral. York is an attractive place to visit for self-catering holidays at any time of year. It offers a wide range of stylish holiday cottages, houses and apartments both in the city centre and surrounding outlying villages. The city centre boasts some of the finest Medieval streets in Europe, such as 'The Shambles' and 'Whipmawhopmagate'. 'Must see' attractions include the magnificent National Railway Museum, now the home of 'The Flying Scotsman, Clifford's Tower, built by William the /Conqueror to 'subdue The North' (as one does), and the Jorvik Viking Museum. It is one of the few cities in the UK that retains its ancient walls, which can still be walked - with or without a guide. Alternatively, see York's attractions from another angle and hire a boat or take a pleasure cruise on the River Ouse, which flows through the City Centre.
