About Bishopthorpe
- Bishopthorpe Palace has been the official residence of the Archbishop of York since the 13th century.

The palace is occasionally open to visitors.
- The village is one of the most attractive on the southern fringe of York, with a fine collection of historic buildings along the main street and a pleasant riverside setting. The village has maintained its distinct identity despite its proximity to the city.
