A great city, good accommodation, a packed itinerary and welcoming host clubs.
Craig Stockley | Sutton & Epsom U14 | York Tour
Found in 71AD, York is located at the
meeting of the Ouse and Foss rivers,
subsequently becoming a strategic
Northern
stronghold,
passing
through the hands of the Romans,
Saxons, Vikings
and
Normans
respectively.
The varied history of the city is
evident
in
its
magniocent
architecture - from Viking ruins and
the Roman walled city to York's
most
imposing
building,
the
Norman Minster.
Alternatively, a more 'underground'
way to experience this historic area
is the York Dungeon. A walk
through the popular attraction is a
fascinatingly
petrifying
journey
throughout the darker side of the
cities history.
Famed for their sparse modesty, any
Yorkshireman will tell that the
county
has
the
best,
well,
everything is found in the county.
York is therefore a great place to
base yourself and test yourselves
against some of the best sporting
traditions in England. Good, honest
Rugby Tours from Sky High Sports
no less!
York has grown to become our
most popular English Tour base
in recent years.
Based at the outstanding YHA
Hostel on the outskirts of the
city centre, it is a brilliant & low
-cost tour location.
Rugby in Yorkshire needs no
introduction & the sleepy city of
York offers much for the
younger and more experienced
tourists at your club.
