Historic Walking Guides York

Description

York Historic Walking Guides is our new niche travel guide offering readers and travellers the chance to discover the history of the city on their feet through carefully crafted and detailed walks from an expert and knowledgeable author.

With approximately 6.9 million visitors a year, York is one of the United Kingdom’s most visited cities. This book appeals the independent-minded travellers who want to discover the history and sights of York at their own pace.

York is a living museum of history. Built on the foundations of its Roman, Viking and Medieval past, today the city’s famous landmarks and historic structures rise all around, but inside and out of the walls.

Yet this book is not just about old buildings. The reader can choose to discover the gory stories of events past and spooky goings-on, they can take a tour along the city walls, enjoy a drink in the famous historic pubs of York, or they can indulge in the chocolate history of York.
