School Trip to York and Ripon - Crime and Punishment
2 days, 1 night
From £105 per person
A school trip to York offers students the opportunity to explore one of the UK’s most historic cities, with a particular focus on crime and punishment.
There are few more exciting cities in the UK for school history groups than York. Originally a Roman settlement, York was later conquered by the Vikings, and then by the Normans. It was home to Guy Fawkes, key figure in the Gunpowder Plot, and it was besieged by Parliamentarians during the Civil War.
York is now a popular destination among both domestic and international tourists, thanks to its attractiveness and its many exciting attractions, including Jorvik Viking Museum, York Dungeon and York Minster.

One of our favourite visits is York Castle Museum, which is housed in prison buildings built on the site of the former castle. Here you’ll learn about what life was life for inmates and will even meet some of the most notorious!
We also recommend including an excursion to nearby Ripon, where the town’s museums offer the option to enjoy a day dedicated to learning more about crime and punishment throughout the ages.
