Car Hire York

York Mini Guide

York in northern England is an ancient cathedral city which is well worth visiting. This medieval city in North Yorkshire was originally formed by the Romans and is rich in history. There are many sights to see. These include the site of the Battle of Fulford which was fought in 1066, a few weeks before the more famous Battle of Hastings. The York dungeon is good for an hour’s amusement as are the York Museum and the York Castle Museum. You may want to leave more time to take on the York maze however, which is made of maize and very easy to get lost in.

York is a good place to go for a pub crawl as it is said to have a pub for every day of the year. Some areas which are recommended, depending on your taste, are Micklegate, Coney Street and Goodramgate.  Micklegate tends to be taken over by stag and hen parties so you may want to give this a miss if you are looking for a quieter and more sophisticated evening’s entertainment.

Coney Street would be the place you are looking for if this is the case and there are some good bars overlooking the River Ouse. Goodramgate has a varied mix of different establishments. One is the Koko bar which is fairly relaxed and overlooks York Minster, the largest Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe.

York is a unitary city in the north of England. This is a popular place for tourists to request car hire because they can see this attractive walled city and learn more about the fascinating history of the UK.

York Minster, an old Gothic cathedral, receives many visitors each year. It is also an ideal base from which to drive into the stunning Yorkshire countryside. Today this is a vibrant city which is home to the University of York. It is located in the centre of the Vale of York.
