First, visit Selby Abbey or Castle Howard (seasonal from March to October). Both landmarks are treasures of British history and architectural art.

[Selby Abbey] — Selby Abbey is one of the best-preserved medieval churches in England, founded in 1069 AD, with a history of over 900 years. The church integrates Norman, Gothic, and Victorian architectural styles, and its magnificent spires, carvings, and stained glass are breathtaking.

The melodious organ and bell tower music create a strong British wedding atmosphere, making it an excellent place to experience traditional British culture and religious art.

[Castle Howard] — Castle Howard is not a military fortress, but a magnificent manor built by the Howard family in the eighteenth century, blending Baroque and Palladian architectural styles, with a grand and elegant appearance. The manor has meticulously manicured gardens, romantic rose gardens, and spectacular fountains, like an artistic garden. It is also the filming location for many famous film and television works such as Garfield, showcasing the elegant charm of British aristocratic manors and creating a dreamy English scene in the hearts of tourists.

Afterward, head to the historic city of York for a journey through a thousand years.

[York] — York is one of the most charming medieval cities in England, known as the “epitome of English history.” The city is located on the River Ouse and combines Roman, Viking, and medieval cultural relics. You can visit the magnificent York Minster, stroll along the Shambles, inspired by Diagon Alley in Harry Potter, climb the ancient city walls to overlook the panorama, and visit the National Railway Museum to feel the glory of the British industrial age.
