Homestead Park

Once one of the wealthiest abbeys in the country, the millennium-old ruins of this historic building are now surrounded by a charming park.

Relax in a tranquil park that houses one of the most popular museums in York and offers peaceful lawns that border the River Ouse.

If York Hospital is what brings you to town, hopefully you'll have a chance to explore more of York.

Examine a Viking sword from 1,000 years ago, Roman and medieval remnants and the skeletons of extinct animals in this revered museum.

You can browse the exhibits at York Art Gallery, a museum with a story of its own, during your travels to Bootham. Discover the area's fascinating museums or seek out its local tours.

Learn about the local history of Bootham when you take a trip to Multangular Tower. Visit the shops and lively bars in this family-friendly area.
