Delve into artefacts at the Undercroft, in York Minster situated on the Roman fortress grounds. Keep an eye out for 'Ebor' on road signs and storefronts as you wander through York.

• York originated as a Viking settlement known as Jorvik.

The Jorvik Viking Centre, an attraction in York displays Viking artefacts discovered during an excavation in the 1980s. Children will find joy in the cab ride offered there. York commemorates its Viking history, with a Viking Festival held in February featuring a parade of Viking clans marching through the city centre.

• York's Place Names: Unique and Confusing

In York the ancient entrances to the city centre are known as bars; Monk Bar, Bootham Bar, Micklegate Bar and Walmgate Bar. On the other hand streets in York are referred to as gates; Goodramgate, Stonegate, Swinegate and so on. 

This naming tradition stems from 'gata,' which is a term for road. Narrow paths are called snickets or snickelways while rings denote the fields to the River Ouse. The term 'Strays' pertains to open areas surrounding the city rather than wandering animals. Understand?
