York has so many great historic sights that you won't have time to see them all. Updated for 2026, this well-established, much-reviewed guidebook tells you enough about each of York's attractions for you to choose what will suit your tastes. Unlike many other York guidebooks, it includes detailed eyewitness accounts of what's inside every York attraction listed. The book is designed to be easy to dip into, one entry at a time as required. As an Amazon UK review puts it, it's a decent size as in not so small you can't read it but also not too big to carry around.

The author lives in York and, since this is a print-on-demand book, can keep the book annually updated. It gets updated with regard both to the ever-changing entry prices to York's attractions and to descriptions of new attractions, like the 2025 Professor Kettlestring gallery of illusions or the 2023 children's Wonderlab section at York's Railway Museum. The book also gets updated concerning any major events during the coming year - like the medieval York Mystery Plays due to be performed again in York's streets on two days in summer 2026.

Contents include:

  • Detailed, read-as-you-walk-round, guides to York's Cathedral and the medieval City Walls. These point out entertaining features and add quirky historical anecdotes: I followed the guide through York Minster and saw so many details I would otherwise have missed. (Amazon UK review)
  • Nine very different museums are described - covering things as diverse as time trips to re-creations of a Viking village and a Victorian street, old steam trains of every shape and size, giant dinosaurs, historic York chocolate-making, and a DIY archaeology experience for children.
  • Information on all the historic buildings which are open to visitors, including restaurants, cafés and pubs in heritage buildings, plus York's famous old streets like Stonegate and the Shambles.
  • For anyone seeking a break from tourist crowds or admission charges, some interesting riverside and lakeside walks on York's green fringes to some of York's hidden delights.
  • Ready-made day visit programme for any visitors too busy to choose for themselves.
