This Is York logo Linear White
York - a vibrant festival city with Roman roots and a Viking past, offering an adventure for everyone.

A city where ancient walls surround incredible local businesses, attractions, shops, accommodation and eateries, with exciting events every day and inspiring festivals every month of the year.

Perfectly placed half-way between London and Edinburgh and with the glorious Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors and Wolds right on the doorstep, York is unlike any other English city. There’s thirty world-class museums you can explore, the best racecourse in the country and a thriving cultural scene.

York has always been haunted. But this autumn, things are getting a little out of hand. Brave ghost walks, uncover dark history and explore York’s atmospheric streets before recovering with great food, cosy pubs, shopping and seasonal treats. Plan your visit to Haunted York this autumn, if you dare.
