"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.

Pros:"Easily seen on foot, something for everybody here!"
Cons:"Swamped with tourists on the main streets"
In A Nutshell:"Great city with a northern England flavor"

 Good tips for this lovely city, Tara, but I am not sure about veggie sausages! LOL Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy and travel filled 2007.
