约克--罗马风格的古城

Ethelburga女王学院成立于1912年,并且成功地成为英国最著名、最好的女子学校之一。1991年迁址到现在的Underwood Hall。从学校开车到约克市内只需15分钟。学校的各种装备设施都很先进,使之感觉更像一座乡村别墅酒店。校园覆盖一百多英亩,包括一个“神秘”花园。

The Arsenal Soccer Schools programme will be running at York for Summer 2012. Find out more here, contact us on +44 1227 787730 or download our Arsenal Soccer Schools pdf.
约克
约克位于英国约克郡,是英国历史上一个非常重要的城市,它曾是罗马下不列颠(Britannia Inferior)的首府,也是著名的宗教和教育中心,它的街道刻满了历史的痕迹。市中心地区是在古城的基础上发展起来的,保留了比较完整的中世纪英国风貌。长达5公里的中世纪城墙和城门环绕着整个城市,至今仍保存完整。
约克以教堂和酒吧数量众多而闻名,在城墙上的任何一点你都能看到至少一所酒吧和一座教堂。约克大教堂是英国最大,同时也是整个欧洲最大的哥德式教堂,它历经2个半世纪才建成。(1220年开始兴建,并于1470年代完工)。其大主教地位仅次于坎特伯雷大主教。约克教堂东面一整片的彩色玻璃,面积几乎相当于一个网球场的大小,是全世界最大的中世纪彩色玻璃窗。
2007年,约克被评为欧洲年度旅游城市,其它具有代表性的名胜还有:罗马遗迹、海盗博物馆、中世纪的礼堂、还有铁路博物馆等。
约克每年吸引着成千上万来自世界各地的游客,其中美国人占了很大比例,这里面有很浓重的历史情结。17世纪时,为了逃避宗教迫害,一群英国的清教徒乘船逃往新大陆去寻找新生活,之后大批的英国人加入了移民潮。他们用英国故乡的名字命名新大陆的定居点,新约克(New York),即纽约,便是其中之一。
约克市是连接南北的交通枢纽,离约克最近的机场是曼彻斯特国际机场(2小时)和利兹机场(1小时)。约克面积不大,很适合徒步观光。从约克开车到伦敦要四小时,乘火车只需2小时。
