6 CITY OF YORK If you come to the University of York you’ll be spending a good part of your time living, socialising and possibly working in the city. As well as being home to some of the country’s most beautiful parks and buildings, York is a friendly, welcoming place, with a compact city centre where you can walk or cycle everywhere. Right in the heart of York is King’s Manor, a collection of largely medieval buildings, and home to our Department of Archaeology, and the Centres for Medieval and Eighteenth Century Studies. Nearby is York Minster Library, which is particularly valuable to students of medieval literature and history. BUS SERVICES Bus number 56 goes from Heslington Hall, the University Library and Campus East to King’s Manor (in term-time every hour, Monday to Friday). Bus number 66 goes from Heslington Hall, the University Library and Campus East to York Railway Station (in term-time every ten minutes from 6.30am to 11.30pm). There are free shuttle buses which operate between Halifax College, Campus South, Heslington Hall, Science Park, York Sport Village and Campus East.
