A Walk Through York, England

- York is a historic walled city at the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Foss in North Yorkshire, England, and is the traditional county town of Yorkshire to which it gives its name. The city has a rich heritage and has provided the backdrop to major political events in England throughout much of its two millennia of existence. The city offers a wealth of historic attractions, of which York Minster is the most prominent, and a variety of cultural and sporting activities making it a popular tourist destination for millions.
The city was founded by the Romans as Eboracum in 71 AD. It became the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior, and later of the kingdoms of Northumbria and Jorvik. In the Middle Ages, York grew as a major wool trading centre and became the capital of the northern ecclesiastical province of the Church of England, a role it has retained.
In the 19th century, York became a hub of the railway network and a confectionery manufacturing centre. In recent decades, the economy of York has moved from being dominated by its confectionery and railway-related industries to one that provides services. The University of York and health services have become major employers, whilst tourism has become an important element of the local economy.
From 1996, the term City of York describes a unitary authority area which includes rural areas beyond the old city boundaries. In 2011 the urban area had a population of 153,717, while in 2010 the entire unitary authority had an estimated population of 202,400.
I've lived in York all of my life and can honestly say I never want to live anywhere else. Love this city!
Same here. I Love york
@Blackporsche roadster wow... harsh..! Get in said black roadster and move along... please!
Well, that's satisfaction. Good on you!
@Blackporsche roadster tosser.
Never thought I'd get to hear a satisfied man
I live in New Zealand and went especially to York for part of my trip to the UK. I adore York. I could live there. It is so beautiful. I love the history and architecture. I love where I live though...
Where do you live in NZ? I used to live in Taupo for 2 years.
Stephen - I am in Auckland. I’ve been here for 32 years. Have lived in Wellington for 18 years too. I love love love Wellington - but the weather! Lol.
I have fond memories of Lake Taupo - kayaking and along its tributaries. Taupo is so much nicer from the middle of the lake! Made me appreciate it more. Great fishing to be done there too.
Did you work there or visit? Did you manage to get to travel around the country?
@@mcamilleri123 I worked there for an engineering company. I applied for the prison service but couldnt get a visa. We travelled along the coast from Auckland all the way to Napier, but more often than not stayed around Taupo as there is so much to do.
i was born in Takapuna. went back several years ago and stayed in Titarangi. live one hour from York.
Eamonn Glover - I have been inNZ for 32 years. I am in Te Atatu Sth and my son lives in Titirangi. Hubbys parents live on Waiheke Island which is beautiful. They own an olive grove and do B & B, have horses etc on 17 acres.
Absolutely a wonderful English city. You guys should be very proud of it. Clean, safe and affordable...my home away from home.
Very expensive property.
"Affordable" yeah ok lol
Clean-no
Safe-sometimes
Affordable-hell no
I live in York it's a grubby City and it's not got enough toilets for visitors and the ones we have are a rip off like the car parking .
Random Geezer ...come to America if you’d like to see expensive. I spent nearly two weeks in York with my son. Great city. Incredible amount of history....still my favorite English city.
Was lucky to visit York around christmas time 2019 from Boston US. I was blown away how charming the city is.
I’m from York, and lived in Boston for 3 months, was equally impressed
Anglo Saxon faces everywhere ,,, LOVELY !!!!!!!
👍👍👍👍
I went there last week and shoot some videos, too

I love york! it's my grandpa's city and we go there often. Can't imagine a better place to spend a day!
I was in York in 1992 beautiful city love from italy.
How can people ever leave this kind of overwhelming beauty? I hope it allways stays like this.
This is How I imagine old England to be. Its beautiful. I expect London once looked Like this. I Believe places Like York and Winchester (old capital of England) was the main major cities & towns in the Middle ages And before. Commerce etc so much history. This vídeo makes me want to visit. I will. Thank you for uploading. The lady walking passed with the cheesy grin made me chuckle
York was the capital of England many years before London, it was know as Yorvic.
@@somattalistenta Or Jorvic, anyway, it was Viking origin.
I visited once, beautiful place

No it wasn't - just the northern kingdoms (Northumbria, Deira).

Lived in York for over 50 years and interesting to see someone walking round seing things I see on a weekly basis, great footage 👍
Amazing! Just back from a weekend break there...what a magnificent city. The architecture, the history, the eateries, shops, pubs, people and the terrific vibe. A place you simply MUST visit. Greetings from Scotland.
badmattam ...yes, I agree.
badmattam do you know about a law that still stands in the walls of york my familys scottish and english i live about 25 mins away from york and the law is that you can kill a scot with a crossbow behind yorks walls preety gruesome im on guard when i get into micklegate 😂😂
+Michael Jiroch Hello
Yeah i lived in york in 2000 for 6 months thee best place to visit in britain I'M BORN n BRED IN GLASGOW c'mon the hoop's
Watching from India. Seems a peaceful place. No one is in hurry. Walking gently hand in hand, neat and clean, handsome men, beautiful women and child, everything organised. Who doesn't want to go to such a place!! Loved the video. Want to see it again and again. Thanx a lot.
Well, I wanted to travel the world a bit more. I started at York. 11 years later still here and loving it ❤
you have superior tastes that's all.
What a great atmosphere! Absolutely love York. Would love to visit again

I love historical York!
Wow. What a beautiful city. I hope I can visit there one day!
Of course you will---
It's nice at Christmas but cold lol in the summer it's lovely to get out on the river on the red boats or just to walk along the castle walls and through the cobbled streets
I live in Kent, but York is one of the places we loved to visit alongside Canterbury. Love York Minster and Canterbury Cathedral. I love my England!
I used to live in York post 1966 but then my family emigrated to Australia. Compared to England, Australia is a dump apart from the salubrious suburbs.
I love York must get back there one day soon for old times sake nice friendly people as well it's a special place thanks for good video Paul p Birmingham England ❤🌞👍
I visited York in 1965, too young to appreciate the beauty of this city. Thankyou for bringing it back to me all these years later, hopefully it hasn't changed too much
Beautiful and gorgeous people's neat clean roads and market love from Pakistan
Thank you for posting this video of the city I live in Because I’ve found a clip of my father who passed away only last November I shall keep this to give me found memory’s if my dad thank you so
I’ve had the pleasure to visit York twice with a totally delightful experience both times. And this video was beautifully shot. But the message I’m seeing wouldn’t be a mega attraction for me to go if I were a first-timer to visit York today. Seems like there was a major focus on streets jammed packed with tourists to the extreme. It didn’t seem to focus on other attractions, such as Clifford’s Tower, the National Railroad Museum with examples going back to the very beginning, and what I’m calling the museum of everyday life, which has great exhibits tracing the evolution of what people had experienced during their lives going back to pre-Victorian times or thereabouts.
There’s so much more to York that congested tourist pedestrian traffic, which wasn’t they way the two times I’ve been there. But that was then. Maybe today.
Yes the York Railway Museum is a must visit, one could spend the whole day looking at the beautifully restored steam trains.
I don’t know why this popped up on my recommended feed today but I immediately tapped it. 36 years ago as college student from the states visiting my mom (on a work assignment) in nearby Harrogate for a summer abroad I happened to take the local tiny train to York for a visit by myself and was transfixed by its perfect medieval architecture and scale - I am an architect today - including the fabulous York Minster. A couple of days later it was nearly destroyed by fire. I can remember the region acted much like the tragedy of the Norte Dame Fire of last year and was in shock and mourning. It’s great to see the charming city again so many years later (if only by video) and a very successful restoration of the York Minster. Cheers to all the wonderful residents of North Yorkshire 36 years later from California!
Born and bred in York and in 1966 emigrated as a nineteen-year-old to Australia with my family. Personally, I realised about eight years ago that it was a big mistake, not that I haven't done well in Australia far from it...BUT my heart is still in York. I miss England so very much, the green rolling hills, the incredible historic buildings, the beautiful winding and pristine rivers, the patchwork fields and hedgerows along with the lovely twittering birds. There is nothing quite like the beautiful and sublime country sounds of birds and insects. I'm planning on going back soon if I can convince my wife that she will be able to return to live in Australia when I eventually die.
Oh, and another thing, the Liberal/Conservative Government has destroyed Australia.
Can you pls tell me, how alive neighbourhoods are? We live in USA and so very tired of loneliness where you don’t see ppl walking at all only in centers, but we really want to come outside from the house and feel alive. Trying to find something like this in England. Thank you 😊
It's a great city I've worked and lived in York.im there for work 3 times a week and going tommorow for the day
I can't stand York!
"Welcome, my lord, to this brave town of York. " King Henry, Part III, Act II, Scene 2
It is such a beautiful place to visit. I'm English, lived in England my entire life, and was still surprised at the beauty of York. I'd highly recommend Lincoln, too.
A wonderful & very well done video sir, thanks for sharing the sights & sounds of this beautiful city with us.

I'm that kind of girl who wants to explore new cultures and new traditions.
I would love It! ❤
You'd love all the homeless heroin addicts that are in the city centre then,there's absolutely loads! A York resident.
@@AngloSupreme maybe some people want to enjoy beauty in cities and not be constantly reminded of cynical stuff. I have been to York, I love it, I know it isn't perfect but it doesn't mean I cannot enjoy it for its beauty. I feel bad for the people living on streets like this, but people enjoying York's culture won't be able to fix that problem. The city itself will have to.
@@bisexualantigone I didn't say you wouldnt/couldn't enjoy York.
Hey up, Gender Solid. Was it Marx the Karl who said that Opium is the Religion of The People. Take away the Religion - Bingo ! You have today`s Great City of York, and New York, and Dublin and Bogota. San - Francisco and Paris.....
@@AngloSupreme
you probably one of them..
Excellent, sympathetic study, which just about scratches the surface of the great city in which I am so lucky to live!!
Thanks for sharing. I was there in 2012, stayed at the Galtres lodge. I am from the states, but York felt like home. I didnt want to leave. Hoping to go again someday.
hubbas girl Athens you will be very welcome.
hubbas girl just to let you know most of England is not like York. At all. Its a lot rougher, poorer and just shit.
+Royal Marine there are more beutiful places in Britain than what your comment said yes there are rough places but a lot of lovely villages !!
The most beautiful town in Britain is supposedly Chesterfield, located just near Sheffield. I've stayed once in a nice little BnB in Bakewell, truly a beautiful place I'd love to live there. Proper British
@@royalmarine1285 Yawn
I don't realise how much I take for granted being born and raised in York cause it's all I've ever know but it's nice seeing how much people like it
On the otherside of the world someone is amazed. And yes that includes me i really wanna go to york and other countryside of United Kingdom
This reminds me why I don’t visit York at peak times of the year - hardly room to breathe with so many people everywhere! We go every January for a much more relaxed experience!
As with most cities, I find the best time to walk around them is late at night when there are few people around. York especially!. You can sink into its history more.
Not here though CQ. I live in York, it is populated largely by drunks late at night unfortunately.
And do a ghost hunt.
Ghost town later in the day too.
I was once for the first time in Valencia, Spain, late at night. Leaving the extremely lively hustle and bustle of the Ayuntamiento ( it was Las Fallas Festival time ) I walked alone along a cobbled street under a lite drizzle of rain and listened to someone playing Ave Maria on their violin. It was singularly exquisite.
If you want a late night walk avoid the weekends.wall to wall stag and hen parties puking and falling over left and right
I loved York when I went there! A beautiful city.
Beautiful place
York is a marvellous city. Would love to live there.
Then it's time to move there. Don't waste your time living some place you don't want be.
Was nice now been ruined by the concil stay where you are Anon trust me
+John Johnstone ...John, I'm an American, please explain your comment to me. Council?
Council, I call them concil as all they do is con us who live here and have for years.
+John Johnstone so, I assume, Council means the governing body of York, like mayor and city council members in the US.
Thanks for video. Today even though we don't have money to buy flight ticket, we still can see another part of the world through youtube.

York is the uk no 1 safest city and I live there.
But the University of York is so relatively dull and ill-suited to looking after students that 5 people killed themselves in one year there.
I live there to
5 people killed themselves at the University at York..?
Are they sure it was suicide.. something doesn't sound quite right
I am from near york, God’s cuntreh, I wish the historic town an ever better future, but my fear is it will eventually go down the route of Birmingham and London. Let’s enjoy whilst we can brethren
Kkk
Thank-you! York and Yorkshire were my very favorite places to visit- this walking tour brought back many lovely memories for our family!
Thanks for the tour it will be the closest I ever get to visiting lovely city
It's not that great.
I feel very good to see this when I look from a poverty ridden country may watch these scenes be a blessings and beneficial for our minds Junaid from Pakistan
Enjoyed watching this. Years since I have been in York and I would like to go back now.
Same here. Loved it.
Thank you for the Excellent Video. So beautiful
Ah, the good ol’ days, when we could walk with lots of real people! Maybe next year...🤪
York has been so much nicer, empty.

I’ve never been to York but after watching this video i will now great video looks fantastic
It's nice at Christmas but cold lol
My wife and I go to York very often, stay at the dean court hotel right next to the minster, so we’re right at the centre of things, we never tire of it, we’ll be going soon as this COVID is over, we’ve been to many places but always look forward to York. Salford uk

MY GOD... IT LOOKS LIKE HARRY POTTER LAND! What a beautiful little gem the British have. The cathedral there is simply stunning.
Could you be any more patronising?
Yes it's really QUAINT and LOVELY, I agree .
I didn't find that patronising, York is my hometown and I moved away about 8 yrs ago. I suppose the fact I'm watching this means I'm home sick and how amazing a city it is. Loved spending my childhood there and growing up in such a diverse historical city. Can't wait to go and visit friends again now I'm back in England
would
Its not British its English don't insult plz
York is just gorgeous.

Thank you for this amazing video. I'm contemplating a move to York and after watching this, I'm sold.
After living here for longer than I'd say about 3 weeks you will want to move back where you came from, so bit of advice don't move to York literely one of the worst places to live in the UK.
Alison N it’s amazing in so many ways! I moved here 8 years ago. The downsides are that you need terribly deep pockets, as house prices/rental prices take up around 2/3 of the average persons wage - so if like me, you live alone, be prepared to really scrimp to live here.
Wages are on the lower end of the scale here and most of it is centred around the hospitality industry.
Most things are priced with tourists with money to spend in mind, which puts a lot of activities out of reach for a resident.
Also, the hoards that come here binge drinking from other cities (think hen and stag parties) makes it unpleasant to be in from mid afternoon at the weekends. A lot of residents avoid it for this reason.
Shops, like. most high streets now, are closing rapidly, to be left either empty or to become yet another drinking/eating establishment. There are hundreds considering the size of the city. We are saturated with them.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my adopted city, and the sacrifices I make to live here are worth it on the whole, but it’s not all this film makes it out to be. There are some truly run down and/or ugly areas, even in the centre. Look up Rougier Street and Piccadilly. There are plenty more like that. Lots of housing estates and coronation street type houses round the corner from the over priced luxury apartments.
Don’t get me wrong, I love love love my adopted city, and the sacrifices I make to live here are worth it on the whole. - but it’s not all this film makes it out to be.
It's expensive to live anywhere near the actual city, but I have many relatives that live within a half hour or so of the city.
I'm amazed how vibrant and interesting York is.
My heart and soul is in York and still is. I lived there for many years but alas, EXTREMELY expensive to live there now :(
Mine too, after living in Australia for 50 years.
You joke not Sir! I have lived there for the last 10 years and it has become phenomenally expensive. The prices for accommodation, housing, restaurants et cetera are all pretty close to central London standard. A delightful city that has to be in enjoyed sparingly at least By those that live elsewhere
There are gems in England that you miss because there are so many.Missed this one unfortunately.
watching a video of york from new york. 😛
You could probably fit York into the smallest borough of new York it's small but as the American tourists say quaint nice at Christmas but cold lol
New York is named after York, it's the new York in America , fact

You definitely must Shradhha, England is simply beautiful, especially if you love historic buildings, cobbled narrow city streets and green rolling countryside. My family and I left England for Australia in 1966 and sadly my heart and soul is still in England. Hopefully returning to live if my wife agrees.

I have been to York in the 70s and the town is very beautiful with great historic buildings..
Such a wonderful video and an incredible city to visit. Having visited York on a number of occasions, I could not recommend it enough. The kids loved it as well as the grown ups, particularly the shambles street. Which is arguably similar to the streets that appear in Harry Potter. Although, if you do visit the city I would strongly recommend having a car to hand. It provides freedom to visit the outside regions of the city where some of the most wonderful activities are. Should you be visiting from abroad consider a local car hire provider, such as 4x4vehiclehire.co.uk/4x4-hire-york/. Thank you for the wonderful video and I wish everybody a great visit to York.
Diagon alley you mean?
Only rent a car if you intend on using it outside of town, as a York resident it is terrible trying to cross York when the the centre is always busy, the best way to get to your location through the day is to use the A64 which will always be the longer route but about 10x + quicker.
That was very enjoyable to watch - and no jerky movements in the filming. Beautiful! Thank you Michael.

No I think it is you that must be lucky because Cotswolds is one of the places I wish I could live... a lot of people would love to live in the Cotswolds.
I'll have to do some research when how they're destroying it's natural beauty.. I'm not sure the exact way that you mean... although I would imagine that maybe they're taking gorgeous areas and building too many houses and stores and Roads ?
Is that what you mean or is there something else going on... I always get sad when I see beautiful green areas being taken this way.
just like clean shoes, I fascinate with the floors of tile these streets have and can't help to imagine marble heaven streets and gardens
