Adventurer's Hall, which is the finest building
of its date and type in Europe. Continuing through

National Railway Museum, which is the world's
largest collection of railway icons and is free to
visit. Other attractions include the splendid Treasurer's
House, and the York
Castle Museum, York

2000 years ago. Heading out of York you find the
