Transport in York
Because it was built by the Romans, York has plenty of long roads at its disposal. The city lies at the intersection of the A19, A59, A64 and A1079, linking it to major cities that include Liverpool, Leeds and Hull. From the A64, commuters can easily access the M1 motorway, and the M62 isn’t far away.
York is a major railway centre since the first railway arrived in 1839. It’s a key stop on the East Coast Main Line, connecting it with London, Newcastle and Edinburgh. It takes less than two hours to get between London and York by rail. Local stops go to Harrogate, Leeds and Sheffield, too.
Living in York
Despite being a small city, York has many distinct areas. New buyers should start by looking at quiet residential areas like Badger Hill, which sits on the outskirts of York. Alternatively, Clifton is perfect for professionals who want a taste of suburban living: it’s within walking distance of the city centre and in close proximity to the A1237, connecting commuters with Leeds and Harrogate.
Further afield is Fulford, a historic village that lies on the outskirts of York, south of the city centre. There’s a goldmine of listed buildings here, giving this area a tight-knit community feel that makes it a rare find.
