YORK places to see...

Just walking into York from our hotel there was so much to see. The old buildings and streets and amazing architecture. Your immediately transported.


York minster is a must when we went at first it was really early morning and we just walked the grounds and that alone was amazing looking at it and its grounds you really got a sense of grandeur from it and it is that walk that made us decide we had to go in. So the day after it was raining so we went inside on this day to keep dry yes you pay, but it goes towards keeping this amazing place standing and that ticket lasts you a year we went on one of the tours which o think is a good idea so you can get the info and context to it all which just adds to the experience! A must see definitely our trip was cut short due to a reservation  and the fact it was not planned but we will go again!











This was my highlight the York Castle museum! It starts at the beginning then goes through the ages speaking about the whole of york and where it started. What people were like and what they did, how it was to live and work there and what york was know for. At one point we got a guided tour on the Victorian street section. The guide, all dressed in the era attire, spoke about living in these times for each class and really made the streets and its rooms come to life and he gestured towards volunteers in some of the shops as they want to talk about there shop and the history but there volunteers so don't get paid like he did and so wanted us to go see them. The One we spoke to in the pharmacy was amazing and so funny getting a jar of leeches out and entertaining the adults and the children. We were here for like 2 hours and i think was the best place we went.









We had to pop into the golden fleece just for a drink one of the most haunted pubs it was very atmospheric and was literally painted in history which was suggestive at how you were bound to feel as well as the un-even creaky floors and darkened rooms i ended up getting neck pain and when we left it disappeared instantly!


Above is the best part of the rail museum. Not my cup of tea.


This caused damage to the bank! It is amazing and the staff are so good getting into charecter with the koda and chatting about the store while you wait. Its become such a phenomenon i  itself the staff and owners never expected it to become so big. Yes you have to Que and shouldn't be for too long if your tactful with the time you gobut it is worth the wait if your into Harry potter.
