For the price of $500, students can add the optional excursion to the city of York.

The city of York was first settled by the Romans before it became the home of the Vikings in the 700s CE. It is the site of York Minster, an immense cathedral that is known for its intricate stained glass windows. Walking through the medieval streets, you will get the chance to connect with the history and architecture of a forgotten time. The ghost stories are real!

In addition to visiting York, you will also have the chance to visit Castle Howard, an example of the landed estates where the nobility once reigned--as immortalized by Evelyn Waugh in Brideshead Revisited.

Three day/two night trip to York includes:

  • accommodations in twin or triple rooms in a guest house in York on a bed-and-breakfast basis
  • round-trip transfer between Oxford and York
  • a ghost tour of York
  • entrance to York Minister
  • day excursion to Castle Howard
