 | Ripon Hotels: Ripon, situated in North Yorkshire, is considered to be the oldest city in the entire country. It is also one of the smallest cities in England, the fourth smallest to be precise. In England, in order for a settlement to be considered a city, there must be a cathedral, unlike in other countries, where the determination of a settlement being a city is based on population. One of the sights that should not be missed while visiting Ripon is the cathedral, which marks the settlement as a city. The cathedral dates back to the first century.
