York is one of the best-preserved historic cities in the UK. It feels like stepping back in time - cobbled lanes, medieval walls, timber-framed shops, and the jaw-dropping York Minster. It's a great place to explore on foot, and there's a nice balance of touristy charm and everyday life. Perfect for history fans, or anyone who enjoys a place with character.
