About York
Heading to York by coach is an easy way to enjoy the city without the stress of planning every detail. From the moment you arrive, history is everywhere: cobbled streets, city walls and the magnificent York Minster. And a coach break gives you time to take it all in.
You can stroll along the Shambles, find a cosy tearoom for a quick break, or pop into the cathedral or one of its museums.
Everything is within easy walking distance, so you can spend more time enjoying the sights and less time worrying about getting around.
