York is Englands finest example of a medieval town, so well preserved that it has become one of the worlds most interesting historic cities, with a rich mix of activities for the visitor. This fortified town is surrounded by high stone walls that protected it from attackers in the past and then from modernization. The walls, dating to the Middle Ages and still 95 percent intact, are nearly three miles long, making it the nations longest continuous stretch of medieval fortifications. Today York is a lively place filled with culture, entertainment, shops, characters, legends and fine restaurants. The rich history will come to life in your visit because many of the old forts, palaces, churches and streets are preserved just as they were centuries ago, and several museums help tell the long story.
I'm from Greece and I'm obsessed with great britain. Thanks for the tour in York. Amazing job!
Very enjoyable. Born in York 1951, left in 1972 for America and miss the old place very much. As kids, my friend and i used to love playing on the City Walls...we'd climb up on the outside and get up on the battlements like invading warriors. The big hill with Cliffords Tower...we would roll down...and down..and down. Great city.
I live in York and I reckon you have done a fantastic job of promoting our City. Seems you know more about York then I do.. Thank you.
I'm from Lancashire in England I would love to live in York
My Brother David and I used to do the same thing when we were kids in the 50's too. What a wonderful City. He has lived in Spain for over 45 years, I am in Hong Kong but go back regularly.

@@NYorksElcapitan Thank you.
Hello David, my Father was at Park Grove but that was many years ago, He would have been about 94 now. My brother and I were are Beckfield and later he went to Manor School. So it must have been some other Dalbys. We are well into our 60's :-)
Been there a few times. One of my favourite places that I have been to.
I'll be in York June 2013 and I appreciated you video to give me a sneak preview.
York ultimately comes from Old English Eofrwic which means 'pig trading-place'. Its highly unlikely that a centre as important as York and in continuous habitation would have been renamed by the Anglo-Saxons from the British/Romanised Ebaruc/Eboracum. It might have had a 'ceastre' or 'burh' added but not a new name. The similarity of the Old English to the sub-Roman would suggest the name was altered to something more meaningful, a bit like Leghorn or Wipers.
Very well put together, and that from a Yorkshireman is a great compliment. Well done.
Try putting ArchieUKx in the search box and see a little bit more of Britain.
Haha, did you hear how he said knaresborough? 'naresburrow' lol
the way he pronounces certain town names is very funny
@ ArchieUKx Thanks for posting your videos. Much appreciated by this armchair traveller from Downunder. x
I used to go to Park Grove School with 2 brothers called Dalby, can't remember the first names. We lived in the Groves area. David Knapton.
Another name for York (Jorvic) was Eboracum (Roman). This is why we still have Ebor Races at our prestigious racecourse.
Just a small point...York is a city not a town.
Perhaps the Stones made house s is what does not make me fully appreciate England that much but yeah very historical indeed!
It's named after the Duke of York so in a way, yes.
it is not a bus it is a coach
York comes from eboracum which means iberian(basque/catalan) town
What year was this made? It looks like the late 1980s/early 1990s.
The centre lines in the middle of the station are not present in the introduction so it can't be the late 1980's. So I would reason mid 1990's.
Is New York, U.S named after York, U.K?
HAHAHA! "Naaarzborrow"? Knaresborough is pronounced, "Nair's Bureh"! HAHA!
Oh please,just googling Eboracum shows that you are entirely wrong,why post comments when you haven't a clue what you are talking about.
