Where can you find a fully functioning windmill in the middle of a residential road? Or reach the very end of the solar system? Where can you walk in the middle of a 15,000-year-old bog, or swim in a pool once powered by fruit pastilles? Discover Europe's largest plasticbottomed lake, Betty's underground Dive Bar, the fastest rocket to ever have flown in Earth's atmosphere, the secret ceremony room of the Freemasons, and even York's most prestigious postbox.
