York is one of the best UK tourist destinations

Stone Roses was named as one of the top attractions


According to TripAdvisor, York is one of the top ten tourist locations alongside Blackpool and Torquay. 

As the seventh best location in the UK, York has won a Travellers’ Choice Award thanks to its vast historical heritage coupled with its cheap hotel rates. London, Edinburgh, Liverpool and Llandudno have also won awards following the TripAdvisor ratings.

With the average cost of a room in York being significantly cheaper than in London, it is easy to enjoy the city and its experiences whilst still being able to budget.
