I love the place - love walking through the Shambles and was there not so long ago.
On an interesting yet amusing note, they have just turfed the inside of the Cathedral/Minster

Hi Stray
The only time I have been to York was a few years ago to meet up for the very first time with 2 Birth Brothers and Cousin.Other than it being a very unreal experience meeting these 'strangers ' who were my family I loved York!
Great place .I'd love to back again to actually see it properly so I could take it all in.Loved the Cathedral.Sounds like you had a good day out :-D :-D

Yes, it's lovely, we had a weekend there some years ago and I visited on my own late 1980s. Walked around the walls, and went to Jorvik centre, also Castle Museum.

they also have the Railway Museum which is great - son used to live there - driver on Trans Pennine trains - love the place - Jorvic Centre fantastic and the cathedral - love the Shambles - great shops too - Fenwicks and Browns - two shops we don't have in Cardiff

you can have tea in the Railway Museum = it's brilliant even if you donlt care for trains that much - so many interesting things in there

Been a couple of times but ages ago. And we visited the Railway Museum and the castle museum and the Shambles. Loved it. For the life of me can't remember where we were staying. I guess it has to be Whitby.

I visited York in 1997 with my sister and her OH. We were there the day of Di's funeral so we couldnt really look around the minster as they had a tv there for people to watch the funeral on.We also visited the Shambles, and the Railway museum. And walk on part of the wall. I must put some photos of my English trip on my FB page some time.

I love York, Stray. We've been there a number of times when we've visited the UK and I never get sick of it. I love all the little shops in the Shambles, Jorvik centre and of course York Minster. Glad you had a great day <3
