The Location and Accommodation.

York, a city of historical wealth founded by the Romans, was once the capital of a Viking territory, and today the medieval city remains beautifully preserved. There is so much to discover in York, and it remains a must-visit for locals and tourists alike. Surrounded by
beautiful countryside the city, and the nearby Queen Ethelburga’s College, provide an excellent centre to explore the north of England.
Queen Ethelburga’s College is one of the finest and best known private boarding schools in the UK, furnished and equipped to a very high standard. The school has a variety of recreational facilities, including a superb new indoor games centre containing iPads, Xboxes, PlayStations, over 3000 computer games and DVDs. The campus covers over 100 acres and includes a walled ‘secret’ garden and excellent sports facilities.
