One of the main attraction that can't go amiss is the Clifford's Tower. Dive straight into the medieval history and go inside to discover how the tower became the remains of the grand York Castle. Another great historical landmark that is rich in heritage is located at Bus Stop 11, at Fishergate.

Right by the River Ouse, you'll also find the York's botanical gardens, also called York Museum Gardens at Bus Stop 20. The tranquil atmosphere makes it the perfect picnic location on a sunny day, where you can appreciate all the beautiful flowers and immaculate fresh lawns.
