York is a town in the Avon Valley in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. It's 100 km east of Perth and in 2021 had a population of 2399. It developed in Victorian times and has been little altered since, so its main street is lined with historic buildings.

Community-run motor museum with 90 vehicles and motorcycles from 1897 to 2010. The building (from 1908) was originally a row of shops.
This Victorian complex contains the courthouse, jail and police station, and now also hosts the town art gallery.
This was built in the 1850s as a residence for the Deputy Superintendent of the Convict Depot, which hired out convicts as local labour. It's now a volunteer-run museum of local history.
Mixed reviews for this motel just off the main highway.
Charming restored farm cottages, feels remote but just two blocks from main street.
Two-story hotel and pub. "Heritage" rooms are on the nicer courtyard, the others are on a separate courtyard with a swimming pool. Decent pub with food, sometimes with live music.
Rave reviews for this comfy welcoming hotel in a historic mansion built from 1840.
Well-run site north edge of town, facilities old but usually clean. Pets welcome.
By road from Perth follow Hwy 94 east to Beechina then turn off onto Great Southern Highway.
