We travel at a safe and leisurely pace, staying on cycle paths and designated lanes for most of the ride. Daily tours – depart from City Centre location York has always been a magnet for visitors. There were the Romans, of course, who first settled in the area in AD 71. In the 9th Century the Vikings dropped in for an eventful 200-year stay. The year 1068 saw the arrival of the besieging forces of William the Conqueror, and in the 17th Century, York was a hotspot in the English Civil War. Although we find today’s visitors much more fun to be around, those of the past have all left their marks and their stories.
