Jorvik Viking Festival - York England

傳說中的維京人在約克，York原是英格蘭北方重鎮。
除了老城區眾所皆知的"哈利波特"電影斜角巷的拍攝現場外，最重要的就是Vikings！

一年人有二個節慶，一個是二月份的Jorvik Viking festival，另一個擇是十月底的Illuminating festival

The Jorvik Viking festival is an annual event that takes over the city of York in the month of February each year. Jorvik was the name given to the City of York by the Vikings when they colonised parts of Britain all those years ago.

The festival is great time to visit the city in Northern England, as it brings the city to life, its great for the kids too as they get to take part in a lot of Viking related learning activities.

想當初，不知是西元多少年前，羅馬人先來到這裡，設罝了布列塔尼省份的首都
之後又被安格魯人侵佔，最後落在維京人手裡，成了不列顛島維京人的首都：Jorvik

來這裡也可以參觀維京人主題館，可以現場鑄做一枚專屬的維京錢幣，只要一鎊錢喔！
如果不想買票進去，現場定時也有很多戶外表演，不少大朋友小朋友也都會一同觀賞。
從中可以體會到維京人的蠻橫粗暴，但因是群體生活，也就有著領袖旦生
種種故事化的情節，大家可以介機在現在體驗喔！
