York , United Kingdom

York is a historic walled city in northeast England that was founded by the ancient Romans. With a history that dates back to before Roman times, York is frequently ranked with Manchester as the second most visited city in England after London and is, of course famous, for giving its name to the city and state of New York in the United States.

York is a fairly small city known as England's "City of Festivals" as there are regular cultural festivals every year. It's a romantic city for a weekend break. York is also full of magic and a wonderful place to bring children!
