Explore York
York is situated in the north of England, a contemporary, student-friendly city, renowned for its rich history and heritage, with ancient walls dating back to Roman times encircling the city centre. With a population of 200,000, it's a buzzing city that’s small enough to cycle and walk around (York is one of the UK’s most cycle-friendly cities), or you can always use the fast and frequent bus service which runs between both the campus and city centre. York is perfectly placed half-way between London and Edinburgh, with good transport links by train and air to the rest of the UK and to Europe - it's about 6 hours by train to Paris - but it's also ideally situated to explore the stunning scenery of Yorkshire and surrounding areas.
