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.

WIGGINTON: York Parish #28 of 31
YORK PARISH #28: WIGGINTON
With four to go in York, today we’re in Wigginton, a large village situated 4 miles north of the city centre. Once again we’re in a place that was never historically a York village, and has only been a part of it since 1996. The village was named in the Domesday Book as “Wichestun”, which became “Wygynton” in the 13th century. The first recorded owners of the manor were the Askebys, who may have been connected with the neighbouring village of Haxby, which now merges with Wigginton through extensive residential development.
There are no steep hills here. The whole area it stands within is generally flat ground. There are no major rivers although there is a small beck to the west of the village. If its water features you wan though, Wigginton has you covered. The absolute centre of the place has well maintained pond which looked fabulous in the June sunshine. That’s definitely on our route.
Interestingly, there are two theories that surround the derivation of the village’s name. One says that its of Norse origin, deriving from the word “Vikigr”, making this “Viking hamlet”. The other is a bit more creepy. It says its from the Old English personal name – Wicga which means beetle apparently. By extension then, Wigginton would then be the “settlement of the beetle” or “beetle town”.
Now I’m not one for creepy crawlies, so hopefully this one’s more about Vikings! Lets go!

York, Yorkshire and the Humber, England, United Kingdom, Europe
York local is a walled city, situated at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Foss in North Yorkshire, England. The city has a rich heritage and has provided the backdrop to major political events 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. The city was founded by the Romans under the name of Eboracum in AD 71. 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 2001 the urban area had a population of 137,505, while in 2010 the entire unitary authority had an estimated population of 202,400. The railway promoter George Hudson was responsible for bringing the railway to York in 1839. Although Hudson's career as a railway entrepreneur eventually ended in disgrace and bankruptcy, his promotion of his own railway company, the York and North Midland Railway and of York over Leeds, helped establish York as a major railway centre by the late 1800s. The introduction of the railways also established engineering in the city. At the turn of the 20th century, the railway accommodated the headquarters and works of the North Eastern Railway, which employed over 5,500 people in York. The railway was also instrumental in the expansion of Rowntree's Cocoa Works. Rowntree's was founded in York in 1862 by Henry Isaac Rowntree, who was joined in 1869 by his brother the philanthropist Joseph Rowntree. Another chocolate manufacturer, Terry's of York was also a major employer. By 1900 the railways and confectionery had become the two major industries of the city. With the emergence of tourism as a major industry, the historic core of York became one of the city's major assets, and in 1968 it was designated a conservation area. The existing tourist attractions were supplemented by the establishment of the National Railway Museum in York in 1975 and the Jorvik Viking Centre in 1984. The opening of the University of York in 1963 added to the prosperity of the city. York was voted as European Tourism City of the Year by European Cities Marketing in June 2007. York beat 130 other European cities to gain first place, surpassing Gothenburg in Sweden (second) and Valencia in Spain (third). From 1997 to 2010 the central part of the district was covered by the City of York constituency, while the remainder was split between the constituencies of Ryedale, Selby, and Vale of York. These constituencies were represented by Hugh Bayley, John Greenway, John Grogan, and Anne McIntosh respectively. Following their review in 2003 of parliamentary representation in North Yorkshire, the Boundary Commission for England recommended the creation of two new seats for the City of York, in time for the general election in 2010. These are York Central, which covers the inner urban area, and is entirely surrounded by the York Outer constituency. The whole of the city and local authority area lies within the Yorkshire and the Humber constituency of the European Parliament. York is the traditional county town of Yorkshire, yet it did not form part of any of the three historic ridings, or divisions, of Yorkshire. York is an ancient borough, and was one of the boroughs reformed by the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 to form a municipal borough. It gained the status of a county borough in 1889, under the Local Government Act 1888, and existed so until 1974, when, under the Local Government Act 1972, it became a non-metropolitan district in the county of North Yorkshire. As a result of 1990s UK local government reform, York regained unitary status and saw a substantial alteration in its borders, taking in parts of Selby and Harrogate districts, and about half the population of the Ryedale district. The new boundary was imposed after central government rejected the council's own proposal. The City of York Council has 47 councillors.

Walking and cycling around York, UK (Part 1) ????????
As lockdown and travel bans are still in place, I had the opportunity to explore more of the area where I currently live and at the same time to do my daily exercise routine. York has a flat terrain and plenty of walkways and cycle paths located in various places giving a feel of being in the countryside. The city centre is also easy to explore on foot.
All places featured in this video are about 5-20mins from where I live and I maintained all necessary measures for physical distancing. This is a compilation of videos taken at different times.

HESLINGTON: York Parish #18 of 31
YORK PARISH #18: HESLINGTON
Here’s a York parish I’ve been looking forward to for a very long time. Don’t be fooled by this intro, it might look a little too rural and bereft of anything to begin with but I can promise you that’s soon about to change. Welcome to Heslington, which is a village dominated by one major local landmark. Since the 1960s, the University of York has been located here. Complete with its 11 colleges spread over not just one but two campuses, the University of York is a research university centred around a massive lake and the magnificent Heslington Hall – by far the most iconic of the university’s building
There is a village here as well though – and we shouldn’t forget that Heslington had been an established settlement for many years before the University came along. It still has all the usual village features, like a pub or two, a shop and a post office and even a village hall. Its also got a church, which is of a type rarely seen in the UK.
Most of the walk here though is around the University and its colour coded zones. There are countless interesting features within it, so this doesn’t cover every last bit. Its had more than a few notable alumni over the years – too many to list – but seeing as we’re on YouTube, the name Tom Scott might ring a bell for you. He’s a fellow YouTube who makes stuff like I do, only far, far better than I ever could.
Mind you, he went to a good university. Let’s go and see how good it really is!
