Gruesome Guides: York

What you need to know before your trail

The horrible guide to YORK takes readers on a gore-tastic tour of the streets of the city, exposing all of its most scurrilous secrets. With the frightful full-colour map tourists can plot their path to the past – meet at the Minster, amble through the blood-soaked Shambles and then climb to Micklegate – where so many traitors headed off. Deadly diseases, horrendous highwaymen and vicious Vikings, it’s a trip no Horrible Histories fan will want to miss!
