York
Unrivaled in Britain for its magical charm and beauty, this walled city on the River Ouse was the northern capital in Roman times. York is unlike any other English city since it is situated in the ideal location of exactly halfway between London and Edinburgh, and it also has the magnificent Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors, and Wolds right on its doorstep.
You can visit thirty museums that are considered to be among the best in the world, there is a racetrack that is considered to be the best in the country, and there is a thriving cultural scene. Not to mention that York was selected by the Sunday Times as the best place to live in the United Kingdom.
