One infantry, one cavalry, both are built on the histories of earlier regiments, spanning over 300 years of British military history.

    Interesting exhibitions with a very impressive amount of memorabilia. Located near Clifford’s Tower so it’s in a nice location in the city centre. I enjoyed my visit learning all about Yorkshire’s military history and seeing the uniforms, weaponry and medals. I just wish I did better on the shooting game! 😂

    Knowledgeable staff. Fun expositions. Not only that but the games and questionnaire was super interesting and fun to do. Great date Activity to talk about history with, one of my favorite Museums of York as a tourist from now on, and maybe even in all of England/the world.

    Fantastic museum detailing armour, weaponry, uniforms and the history of one of the finest fighting forces to ever exist (in my opinion). The museum is very well laid out and has an amazing collection to see and learn about. I highly recommend it if you're in or around York.

    Truely fabulous little museum with some incredible exhibitions, I must mention how amazing the staff there were particularly Jana who made such an effort talking about the displays with both my boys. My eldest has never been as engaged with displays and that's is a credit to her passion and enthusiasm. 5 stars not enough
