York's Roman walls, Viking streets, and medieval Minster make it one of the most historically layered cities in Britain. Stonehenge adds 4,500 years of prehistory. Together they span virtually all of Britain's history. The journey south is best done as a weekend — arrive Friday, shuttle Saturday morning, explore Salisbury Cathedral Saturday afternoon, return Sunday.
