As an American living in England, I'm constantly amazed by the history hiding in plain sight. In this video, we explore the 10-acre botanical oasis that is the Museum Gardens before stepping back in time at St Mary's Abbey-once one of the wealthiest and most powerful Benedictine monasteries in England. From the Roman Multangular Tower to the dramatic Gothic arches of the abbey, York truly feels like a film set come to life.
