York England three museums
There are three major museums in York in the UK that you would probably enjoy visiting: the Castle Museum, Yorkshire Museum of history and National Railway Museum. Three of Great Britain's main museums in one historic town.
The Castle Museum is one of the greatest attractions of York, easy to walk to on the south edge of the old town.
The Castle Museum contains a remarkable assortment of items with a special focus on the late 19th century, at the dawn of the modern age, when technology went through rapid changes.
Next we visit the Yorkshire Museum which takes you from prehistoric times up through the 16th century with a large collection of Roman and Viking artifacts especially. The museum was founded in 1830, making it one of the oldest in the country. The museum displays a number of Roman objects which have been discovered in York.
Another one of the top attractions in York is England’s largest railway museum, located adjacent to the train station,
The museum is a five-minute walk from the railway station either via a staircase from the station platforms or on the road just to the south. The National Railway Museum tells the story of rail transport in Britain and its impact on society. It is one of the world’s largest railway museums, perhaps the best, and it covers 20 acres, attracting nearly one million annual visitors, featuring 103 locomotives and nearly 300 other rail cars.
It should be no surprise that interest in railroads is advanced here because this region has a long history of pioneering train travel. The first station opened in 1839, just ten years after the British invented the steam locomotive. Rapid expansion of train services required a larger station, which opened in 1877 as the largest train station in Europe, and the original steel and glass structure still functions today. Trains still provide a great way to get to York.

YORK WALK | Yorkshire Museum Gardens in York
York video walk around the Yorkshire Museum Gardens and St Mary's Abbey in the heart of York, Yorkshire, England.
If you're in the UK then York is a city you simply must visit due to the huge wealth of history, ruins, castles, towers and the many things that represent the historic beauty of England.
We start this short walk around York on Museum Street where we turn into the entrance to the Yorkshire Museum grounds.
Taking a right we move towards a really cool building that we have no idea what it's name is but houses some great art displays. We have a quick nosey around before making our way further into the grounds of The Yorkshire Museum.

The gardens are a peaceful refuge from the busy streets and traffic of York City Centre and worth a visit if you want a bit of relaxation.
As you'll see by the letters in the gardens we filmed this between Christmas and New Year 2017 on December 19th 2017.
We move further into the gardens and grounds and head down towards the ruins of St Mary's Abbey
Access to the gardens in the video is free so if you're in York have a look around and spend some time. It's great for a quick break from the hustle and bustle.

A Walk Through The National Railway Museum, York, England
The National Railway Museum is a museum in York forming part of the British Science Museum Group of National Museums and telling the story of rail transport in Britain and its impact on society. It has won many awards, including the European Museum of the Year Award in 2001. It is the home of the national collection of historically significant railway vehicles, as well as a collection of other artefacts and both written and pictorial records.
The National Railway Museum in York displays a collection of over 100 locomotives and nearly 300 other items of rolling stock, virtually all of which either ran on the railways of Great Britain or were built there. Also on the 20 acres site are many hundreds of thousands of other items and records of social, technical, artistic and historical interest, exhibited mostly in three large halls of a former motive power depot next to the East Coast Main Line, near York railway station. It is the largest museum of its type in Britain, attracting 727,000 visitors during the 2014/15 financial year (the largest in the world in terms of floor area of exhibition buildings is La Cité du Train in the French town of Mulhouse, although this attracts far fewer visitors than the National Railway Museum).
The National Railway Museum was established on its present site, the former York North locomotive depot, in 1975, when it took over the former British Railways collection located in Clapham and the York Railway Museum located off Queen Street, immediately to the south east of the railway station; since then, the collection has continued to grow.
There are approximately 280 rail vehicles in the National Collection, with around 100 being at York at any one time and the remainder divided between Locomotion at Shildon and other museums and heritage railways. The earliest are wagonway vehicles of about 1815. The permanent display includes Palaces on Wheels, a collection of Royal Train saloons from Queen Victoria's early trains through to those used by Queen Elizabeth II up to the 1970s, among them some of the first rail vehicles to be set aside for preservation. Other key exhibits normally to be seen at York include the 1846 Furness Railway No. 3 Coppernob locomotive, and the more modern express passenger steam locomotives London and North Eastern Railway Class A3 No. 4472 Flying Scotsman (added to the collection in 2004), its streamlined sister Class A4 No. 4468 Mallard and London, Midland and Scottish Railway Princess Coronation Class No. 6229 Duchess of Hamilton. Flying Scotsman is among the exhibits intended for operation on the National Rail network from time to time.

A Walk Through York, England
York is a historic walled city at the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Foss in North Yorkshire, England, and is the traditional county town of Yorkshire to which it gives its name. The city has a rich heritage and has provided the backdrop to major political events in England throughout much of its two millennia of existence. The city offers a wealth of historic attractions, of which York Minster is the most prominent, and a variety of cultural and sporting activities making it a popular tourist destination for millions.
The city was founded by the Romans as Eboracum in 71 AD. It became the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior, and later of the kingdoms of Northumbria and Jorvik. In the Middle Ages, York grew as a major wool trading centre and became the capital of the northern ecclesiastical province of the Church of England, a role it has retained.
In the 19th century, York became a hub of the railway network and a confectionery manufacturing centre. In recent decades, the economy of York has moved from being dominated by its confectionery and railway-related industries to one that provides services. The University of York and health services have become major employers, whilst tourism has become an important element of the local economy.
From 1996, the term City of York describes a unitary authority area which includes rural areas beyond the old city boundaries. In 2011 the urban area had a population of 153,717, while in 2010 the entire unitary authority had an estimated population of 202,400.

York, England
York is Englands finest example of a medieval town, so well preserved that it has become one of the worlds most interesting historic cities, with a rich mix of activities for the visitor. This fortified town is surrounded by high stone walls that protected it from attackers in the past and then from modernization. The walls, dating to the Middle Ages and still 95 percent intact, are nearly three miles long, making it the nations longest continuous stretch of medieval fortifications. Today York is a lively place filled with culture, entertainment, shops, characters, legends and fine restaurants. The rich history will come to life in your visit because many of the old forts, palaces, churches and streets are preserved just as they were centuries ago, and several museums help tell the long story.
