See the largest Gothic cathedral in Britain in this historic medieval city. York is replete with 13th-century walls that envelop a labyrinthine network of narrow medieval streets, at the heart of which is the York Minster, a cathedral that is the seat of the Archbishop of York and second in importance only behind Canterbury. No visit to York is complete without walking the City Walls and strolling along the Shambles, a narrow cobbled lane lined with 15th-century Tudor buildings that overhang so much they seem to touch.
