THE ORIGINAL OBSERVATION WHEEL
In the grounds of the "Station Hotel" 2011-2013
Between December 2011 and September 2013 this 53-metre high observation wheel provided visitors, and residents alike, with some great views of the city.
Unfortunately the attraction only had a temporary licence to operate. A ride on the wheel cost £8.50 for adults and £5 for children.
Take a look at the photographs and HD videos on this page and our Media Gallery to see the City from this unique vantage point.
York Minster
With the River Ouse in the foreground and the distant hills in the backround, York Minster rises majestically above a surprisingly green York city centre.
