The York Dungeon delves into the city's dark and haunting past and explores the chilling truth about the suspicious characters who have lived, hidden or died in the city. Watch out for the infamous highwayman Dick Turpin (who was hanged here) and the Viking Ivar the Boneless, who invaded the city on 1 November 1866 AD and caused much bloodshed.
