York is an historic walled city most of which still remains today, it was once the greatest city of northern England, and home of the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus (145-211 AD), when the city was known as Eboracum. The rich heritage extends across the city with the iconic York Minster (pictured), Clifford’s Tower, the National Railway Museum and the Jorvik Viking Centre museum. The city also hosts many annual festivals celebrating their history, including the famous Mummers' Plays.
