[Edit description for York]

York is a historic walled city. York is a city which had a huge Viking settlement. It is now home of the Jorvik Viking Centre.

York Minster is one of the country's grandest religious sites and was recently used as part of the set for the film 'The Da Vinci Code' starring Tom Hanks.

The 'Shambles' can also be found in York. This is the thinnest street in the UK.

Be sure to take one of the "Ghost tours" in York - they are hilarious!

York Castle museum is really worth visiting. The whole collection is extremely interesting but the most impressive is the recreation of a Victorian street in full size.

My last day in York was the sort of day that holidays are made of. Beautiful sunshine, perfect for me to start my day off with a visit to the Jorvik Centre. I can't say that I was most impressed by this place as it's a bit too small and I thought the ride was a bit too short. I went walking around the town again (I love this town) and stopped by the gorgeous Clifford's Tower and spent some time in the lawn around the Museum. I didn't go into the Museum because I was running out of time a...

Finally there!!! Finally back in my beloved England!!! I don't know what it is about that country but I just love the people, the landscapes, the accent, the Pubs (though not the food and the beer too much ;)).

We decided to rent a car from Stansted on just to be more flexible and comfi. As my friends now about my excep...

I travelled down the east coast to as far as Hull and then headed west towards York. The driving was very green and beautiful and reaching York I was immediately struck with just how delightful this city is. It's bustling, colourful, exceptionally green and extremely well preserved. I wandered right around the city centre several times snapping away mad at all the cute and quant little old buildings. The city looks as though it hasnt been altered in a couple hundred years. And I applaud t...

A Day in York

Hello! I was lucky enough to go to York yesterday (with Peter). It was really nice to be in a larger city...I mean I love Durham, but sometimes you just need something a big bigger to take off the edge of claustrophobia: York was a perfect solution. It's only 45 min away on the train, which is nice. I went about visiting just as I usually do, without much of a plan, just taking it all in. It was really cool, right after you get out of the train station, you walk right through the old c...
