York's a beautiful medieval town (technically a cathedral 'city' thanks to the presence of one), pop 200,000.
Other than the aforementioned attractions, it's also famous for its Viking history (Jorvik museum and festivals) as it was invaded in 866 by Ivar the Boneless to have a new country set up under 'Danelaw'. Also for getting flooded every winter, and an infamous hotel that is suprisingly cheap and classy -till you find out it's above a banging nightclub. Yorkshire people are 'celebrated' for their honesty, charm and friendliness, which to southerners means they're loud, obnoxious and rude. They have a high incidence of Sandinavian (blondes) and African DNA, thanks to the invasions from Denmark and Imperial Rome.

Nearby is the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, very Celtic, haunted and Poldarkian.
The local food is very good and hi spec -try a roast dinner, preferably on Sunday when all the pubs do specials, swimming in gravy and everything designed to be mixed n matched.
The two tumours on the left are the famous Yorkshire puddings -fluffy, bready pastries to soak up the gravy.
Apparently in America they've named another little town after the place, or summat.
