Vikings

The Vikings, known for their seafaring skills and fierce warrior reputation, have left an indelible mark on history. While they originated from Scandinavia, their influence can be felt across Europe and beyond. In fact, the Vikings have a strong connection to Yorkshire, as the region was once part of the Danelaw, a territory ruled by the Danish Vikings in the 9th and 10th centuries. Today, visitors can explore Yorkshire’s Viking heritage through museums, historical sites, and even reenactments. And for those who are fascinated by the Vikings, touring Yorkshire is a must-do on their travel itinerary.
