Covering: York, Scarborough, Whitby, Selby, Malton, Pickering, Filey and the rest of the YO postcode area.
The local landmark: York Minster, one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in northern Europe, towers over the crooked medieval shopfronts of the Shambles.
Students: The University of York at Heslington and York St John in the city centre bring two full campuses of students, with plenty of purpose built accommodation around both.
On the ground: Central York is a maze of narrow medieval streets with daytime vehicle restrictions, giving way to Victorian terraces and student lets beyond the walls and quiet rural lanes out towards the coast. If carrying is the hard part, Assisted from £349 brings us inside, with a two-person crew when furniture or bikes are aboard (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor with no lift, £30 for 4th and up).
Who makes this move: Student moves dominate the start and end of each term, joined by graduates taking the roughly two hour train to King's Cross for London careers.
While you wait for the van: The Kit Kat was first made at the Rowntree factory in York in the 1930s and is still produced in the city today.
