The York area is a historical area, dating back all the way to the Roman Empire. I was told it won a tourism award this year, and is the 2nd most visited city in UK after London. The city itself has no tall or modern building architecture. Not counting the churches and castles, the building in the photo on the right is about one of the tallest in York city.
There is this area, called the Shambles, which looks very much like a scene out of Harry Potter (Diagon Street?-- someone please post the correct name in the comments(Diagon Alley, thanks to Soh -- the town in Episode one where he went to get his wand and bank).
The area around the university itself is also very country side, with typical English country houses.
