This is the largest railway museum in the world and boasts a broad range of railway icons and artefacts – from Mallard, the world’s fastest steam engine, to the legendary steam locomotive, the Flying Scotsman. Take the fun Road Trink, linking the museum with York Minster, which leaves every 30 minutes. The museum is also home to the Yorkshire Wheel, a 54m (177ft) wheel that contains 42 enclosed capsules carrying up to eight people each, and offers great vistas over the historic city.
