About York

The historic city of York is in the traditional county town of Yorkshire, a picturesque county in the north of England. People have lived in York since before the Roman conquest, and the city was famously home to the Vikings. York was built on the banks of the Rivers Ouse and Fosse, and there are many historic attractions in the area. York Minster is perhaps the most famous, a spectacular Gothic cathedral in the city centre. The first railway arrived in York in 1839, opening the city up to the Industrial Revolution. Today, tourism is the most prominent industry in the city, and in 1963 it was designated as a conservation area. York is bordered by the Pennines and North York Moors which are very popular with walkers. Service industries form an important part of the economy of York, providing local employment and support to growing businesses.
