I wish I lived here
Just stumbled across this, that's me ringing Great Peter, the bell, all 10.75 tons of it. I haven't seen this since visiting Rick Steve's studios near Seattle in 2008, a year or two after this was filmed, where they made me very welcome.
The opening shot from the train is Durham, not York
Why second??? Which one comes first?
You discuss york but do not mention Vikings.
Rick Steves fortifies the bulk of his stool with hearty oat cereals.
Beautiful city 🙂
I live there
for those actually listening to the steve, York is indeed Englands second city at the time of Henry VIII
that's a gothic church … not medieval.
Lot of angry brummies in the comments isn't there 😉
I'll be there in January 2018. Can't wait,looks stunning
Nice video. A lot of people missing the point in the comments about the title; as it says, it was medieval England's second city – the most important after London for much the medieval period, very wealthy, and significant administratively, strategically and religiously. Birmingham and Manchester were nowhere in the period Rick Steves is talking about.
I am going to York soon. How many days do you need , is 4 enough?
York IS NOT Englands second city Try Birmingham
Miss this city so much
God blesses Lady Amanda& Andrew …and me…
Fantastic video but the first clip looks like Durham, not York.
I absolutely love York and try my hardest go yearly with my mother – we're going next week for her birthday…honestly, our best days have been spent in that beautiful city, looking at the art, learning the history and enjoying the supernatural side – as well as a few of the bars 🙂 our favourite being the red lion…honestly, its an amazing place to go to
All these years after uploading & the title still hasn't been corrected. Quite embarrassing.
Birmingham is officially the second city of the uk.
i live here
Very fascinating . . . thanks for a great video. York is a wonderful city and as somebody who has visited it previously I would highly recommend others do. It's a wonderful city to walk around, however, if you're driving through like I did in one of http://4x4vehiclehire.co.uk/4×4-hire-york/'s vehicles it is still as wonderful. It's got a population of over 205,000 and they really are a wonderfully welcoming bunch.
What is the population?
I love York, I live in Cambridge but York is just amazing! <3
Nice town, sad to leave it.
love this video
Beautiful lands. I am proud to be a soldier to serve this wonderful city. THE YORKSHIRE REGIMENT! 😉
I just read of locals attacking tourists in York. Is it safe to visit? (I'd love to visit it)
Lived in York nearly my whole life. Love it. Just so quaint, cosy and beautiful!
york, the original heart of the north.
People will argue Birmingham or Manchester as the 2nd city, but it still doesn't alter the fact that York is much more picturesque and interesting than either of those two cities. I would recommend York to anyone who hasn't visited yet.
Small point, but York is not England's second city. Not even close.
I thought Manchester was the 2nd city?
How about Leeds, is it nice and safe to live there as well?
I had the pleasure of taking a 3 week trip through Enlgand, Scotland and Ireland this summer and York was my favorite city of all that I visited. North England, Northumberland, Hadrian's Wall, was my most favorite region. Don't miss it! …on a side note, for those on a budget, realize that visiting any of these large churches is quite expensive. They are all very beautiful, but access to each is anywhere from $20-$30 per person in US dollars.
More a history of York Minster than York.
York is our capital.yorkshire.the true second city of england
Richard III should have been finally laid to rest here , he was after all Richard of York not Richard of "Leicester".
I realised after watching this video that we really are blessed to live in this country. I live in Hampshire but I've always wanted to visit York. Shame I've heard stories that most people in Yorkshire want separatism from England, is this true?
as kid i visited there once, it's the worlds most beautiful city. and someday i'm going to live there! 😀
York is a beautiful place to live and visit with ,,I spend 1.5 Years in York while studying in York st John university,,nice place to Visit with , and also People of YORK is friendly ,,,LOVE YOU YORK
Makes it sound better then it is WOW and it's sunny that's rare x but it's a sure good place to live or visit
I was born and raised in York
I will never forget the six monthes that i lived in York
Who REALLY CARES if it's thriving off of tourist dollars! Be grateful ( if you are in fact a resident) that you ACTUALLY live somewhere beautiful and INTERESTING enough where people want to visit! Would you prefer living in some crappy town that people can give two shits about? I never understand people who live in a place where tourists gravitate too because it's worth visiting. If it was me, I'd be proud living in a place that people want to visit!
He did not mean that York was the second city now,But in the period he was talking about.
I am reading a book about the history of England and those videos come in very opportunely
There's a Gregg's on Cony street!
