Yorkshire has a vibrant history to discover and York is one of the best places to explore it. A Danish Army of Vikings (the Great Heathen Army) invaded this area in 866 AD and renamed it Jorvik. This became the capital city of the Danish Kingdom of the same name, which covered not only York but much of Southern Northumbria as well. Today, the Jorvik Viking Centre stands in York and draws a large number of visitors who are keen to explore York's rich Viking history. The centre features a number of interactive exhibits including a realistic reconstruction of the Viking streets of 1,000 years ago, complete with sights, sounds and smells of the age.

York is also home to the York Dungeon with vivid exhibits of the chaos wrought by the looting and pillaging by the Vikings, as well as the history of the area going back 2,000 years.

North Yorkshire is a great location for shopping. York is known for its elegant cobbled streets filled with trendy stores. In contrast, Whitby has plenty of smaller boutiques offering locally produced goods like jewellery and food. Harrogate is famous for its designer shops and big high street names and is a real shoppers paradise.

From shopping to lying on a beach, this county has so much to offer any visitor, whether you have a young family, are an older couple or even a business traveller.
