This page allows you to virtually explore the historic city of York using interactive maps and aerial imagery.

Coded markers indicate the type and approximate position of hundreds of 'free-to-view' and 'not-for-profit' locations that you might like to seek-out during a real-world sightseeing visit. If desired, set the star rating, place type OR zone filter below, then click / tap on the 'Apply Filters' button to restrict the list to the matching locations.

Show / hide tips below.
  • To avoid frustrating 'nil returns', use one filter only (leaving the others set to 'Any').
  • The maps and aerial imagery will only be displayed if Javascript is installed on your device and enabled for this domain.
  • The marker-positioning is approximate. (It can never be entirely accurate due to slight variations in the positioning of the map tiles across different map types and scales.)
  • To view a photo and brief description for a location in a small overlay window, click / tap on its marker.
  • To access the geolocation details and view all available information for a location, click / tap on its place name or 'Read more' button. (If a 'Read more' button is provided, a brief article and / or a high quality external link is also available.)
  • The layers button (top-right) can be used to switch between two street map layers and an aerial imagery layer. However, please note that interactive mapping makes heavy demands on the internet connection (to download and resize the maps). Page-loading times and data-usage can be kept to a minimum by using the street map layers (#1, esri-world_street_map layer and #2, esri-world_topo_map layer) rather than the aerial imagery layer (#3, esri-world_imagery layer).
  • For additional tips on using the maps and aerial imagery, see "Using the interactive maps".

Set the filters as desired, then click / tap the 'ApplyFilters' button to display the results.
