| Page Views: 1,502 Last Visit to York: June, 2004 | "Old" York -- great history, great for walking by londonlover - last update: Jul 16, 2004 |
| Bootham Bar and York Minster |
I had two nights in York on my 2004 UK holiday-- on my way down from Northumberland to London.
Despite the overt touristy emphasis, York is a great little town...the history alone is amazing, with Roman and medeival walls, twisty little streets and ancient, sagging buildings, and plenty of shopping, museums, and restaurants.
York is worthy of a two to three-day visit on any UK holiday!
Must sees include:
York Minster
The City Walls
A Ghost Tour
York Castle Museum
The Shambles
Walking Tour of City
See my tips for more info.
