Fountains Abbey is great - would be good on cold crisp winter day, there's also Rievaulx Abbey (amongst numerous others) or Eden Camp (WWII POW camp) at Malton.

Ooo, yeah, good calls! I guess that they'd have little experience of anything like the Roman and Viking stuff in York and both Rievaulx and Fountains Abbeys are stunning, as James suggests, on a bright winter's day.

Burn them at a stake. It will give them something to talk about when they get home.
