York
A city in North Yorkshire with a population of around 140,000, York's economy is based mostly on tourism, science and service-based industries - a far cry from its position as a chocolate manufacturer and railway town up until the middle of the 20th century. However, the city is still home to the headquarters of several confectionary brands: Nestlé Rowntree, who create the KitKat, Smarties and eponymous "Yorkie" bar, and up until recently, Terry's chocolate factory. The city also has many historical points of interest: featuring many museums and a veritable plethora of churches and pubs, some of which date back to the medieval period.
