York-an excellent day trip from London

by Dabs - last update: Jun 7, 2007

Just back from my 2nd visit to York, one of my favorite day trips from London. Don't let the 200 miles distance from London dissuade you from visiting, it only takes 2 hours to get there by train from London's King Cross station. If you can afford the time to overnight there, even better, there is an awful lot to do in York and it looked like there were some fun ghost tours in the evening.

If you are visiting from London, try to book your train tickets in advance if you know what day you're going to visit, A LOT cheaper!!!

Pros:"Fascinating Medieval town only 2 hours from London"
Cons:"You'll be sorry if you don't stay for a couple of days"

 Hey, you've been to North and West Yorkshire...but you missed the glorious South of our county! ;-) Great York tips and pics - I really should make the short journey there more often - haven't been since a trip to Jorvik Viking Centre in my schooldays!

 Excellent page on York. I'm impressed at how much you saw in one day.

 Too bad you missed the Rail Museum, but it sounds like you packed a lot into one day. York claims to be the best cycling city in the U.K., by the way.
