We followed your book through England a couple of years ago and York was a highlight after Bath, the Lake country and Edinburgh. We had been to London and decided to avoid the big city. Delightful! We also loved Evensong at the last service with the organ as it began a renovation.
- York was definitely one of my favorite cities! I visited while I was studying in England for a semester more than 20 years ago and I can still smell the Jorvik Viking Museum, feel the brick on the walls, and hear the clanging of the minster bells!
- Enjoyed a day here back in 2008. Took an enjoyable ghost tour at night that started at the York Minster. Would have loved to stay longer to see more of the old part of the city. Had tea outside along the river during the Food and Wine Festival. Dinner near the Tower. Someday I will go back.
- My favourite city back home. Such a wide range of history there. Remember visiting in the late-ish 70’s when they discovered Jorvik while digging foundations for some development or other. The minute old remains are found all building work has to stop and a complete ‘dig’ takes place. There was scaffolding all around the site but with many viewpoints in the ‘walls’ so people could watch the dig.
York is one of my favourite cities. And very sensible the city fathers were too, to not allow a railway station to desecrate the city walls. I wasn’t that impressed by The Shambles, but I loved the Yorvik exhibition…fantastically well done. If you enjoyed York, you should visit Chester. Its also absolutely stunning and surrounded by the original city walls, along which you can circumnavigate about 90% of the city along the walls. They were equally sensible, and the railway station sits further away….
I absolutely love York, both the city and the shire. On a Christmas visit to N. Yorkshire we struck up a friendship with Robert Thompson, son of the original Mouseman whose trademarked furniture is in the Minster.
One of my most vivid childhood memories, of almost seven decades ago, was staying with my godfather in York. His daughter and I wanted to walk around the old city on the old Roman walls, and we did that! Don’t know if you are still able to do this or not.
So lucky to have visited the wonderful city that puts the York in Yorkshire. The Undercroft museum beneath the Minster was especially fascinating, and up in the Minster we caught the end of a wedding and cheered the bride and groom as they were walking out. Too many wonderful experiences to recount; so hope to go back one day.
