The mystery trip to York!
Added 2021-01-20 19:01:00 +0000 UTCA few years ago, two of my girlfriends and I took the train up to York for the weekend. And naturally, I left my camera at home!
Here's a few shots that my friends took - they were kind enough to let me steal their photos.
York was rainy and cold but such a beautiful city. I'd love to go back eventually - perhaps this time in nicer weather!

2021-01-24 10:01:12 +0000 UTCI went to York a few years back predominantly to see the National Rail Museum. Just so happened the JORVIK Viking Festival was going on at the same time. What a fascinating experience. Great cozy Pubs, The Cathedral and of course "The Shambles."

2021-01-23 21:04:39 +0000 UTCThe problem with the railway museum is a load of fantastic exhibits, but the presentation and information with them is often disappointing, I have a nasty feeling it has been "dumbed down" rather. If you do go into the NRM, then buy a guide book and scan it, ideally before you go.

2021-01-22 22:14:57 +0000 UTCIf you're going near Whitby - then the museum of Victorian science is a must. N.B. You'll HAVE to book. And if you're up North, both the Leeds and Bradford Industrial Museums are fantastic - stuffed full of social history too. All, as you pass through N. Yorks, Fountains and the other Abbeys too. https://www.museumofvictorianscience.co.uk/

2021-01-21 15:08:13 +0000 UTCI did a 3 day trip to York in 2019, it's lovely isn't it and everywhere you turn is pretty without (mostly) overdoing it. I stayed at the hotel opposite the main entrance to the Minster which was perfect for exploring just about everywhere. The Shambles is a lovely area for shops and walking on top of the old city walls is great too. I was also surprised how much I enjoyed the railway museum too, not being a train buff, but there's so much history on show there that you don't need to be - especially all of the old Royal Trains from over the years.

2021-01-20 19:43:06 +0000 UTCYork is such a beautiful place to walk, and we even took our two young sons with us the last time. There's a great railroad museum, and an underground Viking museum right in the city. You can walk all the way around on the city wall, and shop in the "Shambles"!
