A NEW trail is being launched in York to mark 'Europe Day' on Sunday.
The “York in Europe, Europe in York” trail explores the city’s wide European heritage through buildings, businesses, communities, individual stories and belongings, say organisers York for Europe.
"Whilst Roman Eboracum and Viking Jorvik are all around us, many more countries of Europe have their markers in the city to the present day," said a spokesperson.
"The trail starts with three key points of York’s European connections, which merit a special visit in themselves: the old trading rivers of the Ouse and Foss, the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall, and the National Railway Museum which exhibits our historic and modern rail links across the Channel.The trail then moves on to highlight 19 individual European countries present in York today, from Italy to Iceland, France to Finland, Portugal to Poland, Sweden to Slovakia and Norway to the Netherlands.
"York for Europe hopes people will enjoy a different way of looking at their city."
