Yorkshire

Historic Locations in

Yorkshire⁽³⁵⁾

Named after its county town of York, founded by the Romans, Yorkshire is known for its Roman and Viking heritage, as well as its many Norman castles and medieval abbeys. Yorkshire has the most significant Viking influence among all English counties as it was once the Scandinavian Kingdom of Jórvík, centred around the city of York (Jórvík). Ruled by the Vikings from the late-9th to the mid-10th century, it was the only truly Viking territory on mainland Britain ever established.
