PICTURE POST: a tour of York, via your PC
AS EBORACUM the entire Roman Empire was governed from York for a couple of years. These days, it's Yorkshire's county town and one of Britain's most visited tourist destinations.
Founded by the Romans in AD 71 at the confluence of the Ouse and Foss, this beautiful walled city has played an integral role in British history for two millennia.
Clifford's Tower, the glorious Minster of Tadcaster limestone, the enveloping walls, The Shambles and the mighty Ouse – all combine with countless other gems to make York our region's finest treasure.
So sit back, click 'play' and let us take you on a leisurely stroll around this fine Yorkshire city.
