Vale of York
Highlight • Natural
The Romans had a big influence on the Vale of York: they built their legionary fortress of Eboracum here, as well as various villas, forts, roads and signal stations. After the end of Roman rule, the vale suffered under King William I when he punished them for resisting his conquest. The Battle of Marston Moor also took place here during the English Civil War. A lot of history for a pretty stretch of countryside!
