Exploring York and beyond
It's no surprise that a city with York's history has the odd skeleton in its closet (or should that be spirit in its sideboard)? York is famous for its ghost tours…but you can enjoy more leisurely trips along the river, or the open top bus. Go to www.visityork.org to find out more.
From the Moors to the Dales, steam railways to historic houses, ruined abbeys to charming market towns, North Yorkshire has an unrivalled range of ways to spend your days. If you're able to stay with us for longer than a few days then you may want to spread your wings and explore some of the surrounding areas. Don't be daunted though - our friendly staff can give you advice on what to do and how to do it!
We hope that you can join us and experience York for yourself.
