To the north, the Minster’s gargoyles loom close enough to touch. 💰 Free – One of the world’s best-preserved medieval walls, open to all. 🕒 Open: Daily dawn to dusk (check for icy conditions in winter)

#yorktrip #york #museumgardens #history #park #freeactivites Nestled along the River Ouse, York’s Museum Gardens are where vibrant floral beauty collides with the drama of medieval decay. Stroll past cascading blooms that frame the skeletal arches of St. Mary’s Abbey—a 12th-century ruin rising like a ghostly cathedral—or lose yourself in the riot of roses, tulips, and lavender that soften the ancient walls. The gardens are a living tapestry, weaving together botanical artistry and York’s layered past. 📍 Address: Museum Street, York, YO1 7FR 🕒 Hours: Daily 10:30am–5pm (closes earlier in winter)

Accommodation review #york This time we stayed at Hampton by Hilton york, the price was around £128/night (1 child, 2 adults). This price includes breakfast. We have pictures of the breakfast included. Overall, I liked the room. The room was decorated very cutely. The bed was big, soft, and comfortable to sleep in. The bathroom was big, but the water was confusing to turn on and off. There was one time when I turned it on and the water splashed onto my hair, making it so wet that I fell into the water. What a mess! Hotel score Cleanliness 8/10 Convenience 8/10 Value 9/10 Overall, I would give it 8/10 🥰🥰

#winhkflight #citywalk #york #unitedkingdom Walk along the York City Walls Trail to explore the ancient walls, scenic views of York’s historical streets, buildings and landmarks. You will notice there will be informational signage throughout the train. The existing walls were built during medieval times and later reinforced. The York City Walls Trail is a circular route around the city centre of York. It will take around 1.5 to 2 hours to complete the walk, it depends on your speed. The most attractive section of the City walls is between Bootham Bar and Monk Bar where you will get the lovely view of York Minster. Reasons to Recommend: Free entrance throughout the year and is historical I want to travel to Hong Kong to walk and explore around the city centre.

We went to York on quite a spontaneous trip as a friend travelled from Canada so another friend from London thought we should meet up half way between London and Edinburgh, where we’re based respectively. So York it was! This historical and beautiful city is definitely worth visiting! Loved the architecture - city walls, and the cathedral, and also rivers and pretty streets! #Lovelyautumn #york

#Ancient Roman Walls #York Attractions After going to York Meat Shopping Street, before leaving, we saw a round arched entrance at the city gate that says York Wall 🏰 Entrance, and there is no charge, so we went up to visit. The city wall is centered on York Cathedral ⛪️, around the city wall we probably spent 1 hour, and up to walk to the end to walk back down, requires a little physical strength 💪🏻, if you have young children to think clearly. The road along the city wall is slightly narrow, if there is someone on the way, you have to give way before you can continue 🥲, but the view from the city wall is very beautiful ✨, looking inside is more beautiful like a fairy tale 🌷. The walls of York, which have existed since Roman times, are still quite intact.

#Super Affordable Large Amusement Park #Leece Family Tour #York Good Places A friend recommended The Web Adventure Park, a great adventure park in York, about a 40-minute drive from Leeds city center. Tickets include 12 rides, large indoor playhouse, outdoor playground, outdoor bouncy bed, outdoor sand pool, children's scooter, golf area, animal area, animal feeding session, laser gun, Easter activities, etc. As soon as I arrived, I was attracted by the super large spiral slide. The twin is tall enough (over1.2m) that I don't need to play with it😆. Basic coffee cups, carousels, and ferris wheels are available here, and the twins also played spinning hydrogen balloons, bumper cars, and roller coasters. One of the games called Crazy Bulls🐮, is the first time I play, to ride on a cow, and the cow will swing crazy left and right, not enough balance will be thrown to the bottom shelf, quite fresh and special. In addition, Laser gun🔫 is a new game here, we are lucky 🙂, if you play outside to 10 or 20 pounds 1 person, here included is really very affordable, twins are playing very invested 🥳. There is also a large indoor playhouse, so you don't have to worry about the rain even if you play. There is a long wavy slide 🛝 inside, the twins said it was exciting and fun 👍🏻.

I’ll recommend you to spend a day or two here to visit 📍 The City Wall 📍The Shambles 📍Market in the City Centre Especially in Spring, the blooming flower and a beautiful canal is all under your eyes while crossing the bridge between the train station and the city centre. Once again for Harry Potter fans must go to 📍The Shamble, Said to be the inspiration for the film version of Diagon Alley!! 😍 #harrypotter #diagonalley #york #springblossoms April 2022

York is a city in northern Yorkshire, England. It is located between London and Edinburgh and just about 3 hours by train either way. York has a lot to see for a day trip, so definitely reserve 5-6 hours to walk around and enjoy a good lunch! For most people, the first thing to do when arriving to York by train is to walk the City Wall. Built in the 13th-14th Century, the York city wall has the most intact wall in all of England. walking along the wall will lead one to the city center where the St Mary’s Abbey, York Minister, the Shambles, Clifford Tower and as well the Railway Museum are located. The museum , Shambles and the Abbey are free to visit, while the York Minster and the Clifford Tower will require advanced booking. #urbanexplorer #england #york #daytrip

All in 1911! Whoa! The hall was built in 1911!!! Shame! We weren’t able to get a look inside! At the time of construction, it was considered as the largest public hall in the whole of western australia. Should have seen the jarrah floors, balustrading and pressed tin ceilings! Though, apparently the hall can be hired for some special events!🤑🫣 The hall was in The Shire of York which is the oldest inland town in Western Australia, situated on the Avon River, 97 kilometres (60 mi) east of Perth in the Wheatbelt, on Ballardong Nyoongar land,[4] and is the seat of the Shire of York.-wiki ##oneweekend #saturdaygoof #january2023 #york #shireofyork #yorktownwesternaustralia #perthtourist #westernaustralia #fortheloveofclassics

✿ Dear Food, Either Stop Being So Delicious Or Stop Making Me Fat. ✿ Robinsons Cafe opened in York in 2016 and was founded by award-winning young chef Bex Toppin and restaurant management Will Pearce. The two have worked in several top restaurants and have extensive catering experience, and are passionate about using local ingredients to prepare simple and delicious food. Currently runs a restaurant for the family. Robinsons is decorated with wooden elements, and the environment gives people a leisurely and clean comfort. The dishes are popular but also contain thoughtfulness. The food looks extremely evil, the theme of the dishes is prominent, and the texture of the bread ingredients is just right. Creative pairings such as Beetroot Latte also add to the restaurant. Whether it’s salty food, desserts or drinks, the looks and taste are very high. Unfortunately, the business hours are short, for half a day in the morning to 15:00, every Tuesday and Wednesday closed, Cafe does not have reservations, and will be irregularly closed, so it depends on fate. With an average consumption of £20 per person, it can be called a quality and affordable hidden shop. Robinsons Cafe 7 Bishopthorpe Rd, York YO23 1NA #silverjourney #uktravel #york #robinsonscafe #UK Attractions

✿ Good Food Is Good Mood. ✿ Lucky Days had launched a creative campaign to attract customers when it first opened - replacing traditional points cards with after-sales cards, giving you a chance to throw a dice when you visit again, and if you throw a lucky 6, you can get a full order of £1. After driving the crowd, the event has been cancelled. The door window is filled with fresh and tempting pastries and pies. The restaurant environment is simple and idyllic. It is a Pet Friendly dog-friendly restaurant. The homemade Daily Baked Cheddar Scone is a savory muffin that overturns the perception of Scone as an English afternoon tea dessert. The rich cheese plus vegetable filling, with clotted cream and hawthorn sauce, is fresh and not greasy. Only salads and other taste cold is not good, it is not recommended to purchase side dishes. The average spend is £10 per person, suitable for a leisure break. Lucky Days 1 Church St, York YO1 8BA #silverjourney #uktravel #york #luckydays #UK attractions #foodie

✿ Do I Believe In Ghosts? I Am Prepared To Consider Evidence And Accept It If It Satisfies Me. ✿ The Ghost Bus Tours York differs from other Ghost Tours in that the tour is primarily a ride on an old-fashioned black bus from the 1960s, rather than walking the entire route on the street. There will also be dramatic elements during the tour, such as bus hauntings and broken cars, etc., which are thrilling, vivid, and interactive to make participants more engaged. A classic British bus with classic antique table lamps and red velvet curtains, the decoration on board is nostalgic and retro. Explore York's most spooky history through Monk Bar, The Shambles, Dick Turpin's Grave, Terry's Chocolate Factory and many other famous haunted attractions. The Ghost Bus Tours is a mobile theater that combines horror and humor. In addition to York, there are two routes: London (London) and Edinburgh (Edinburgh). Tickets vary by city, with current The Ghost Bus Tours York fares ranging from £12 (children aged 5-15) to £47 (family of 4). #silverjourney #uktravel #york #ghostbustours #Halloween2022

✿ You Don't Need A Silver Fork To Eat Good Food. ✿ Yorkshire Pudding, also known as Batter Pudding, originated in northern England and is a bread side dish. It is cup-shaped, golden and crispy on the outside, and concave and soft in the middle. Another feature is that it easily absorbs gravy, so it is usually eaten with barbecued meat. The way to eat it is to tear the Yorkshire Pudding into bite-sized pieces by hand and then dip it in gravy and sauce. The York Roast Co. is a specialty shop that is an improved version of Yorkshire Pudding. The crust is Yorkshire Pudding, and the fillings include roast meat - you can choose from pork, beef, turkey or ham, roast vegetables, stuffing - mostly offal stuffing, gravy and sauce, etc. Among them, Yorkshire Pudding Wrap is the most popular and famous. It is designed as a roll and is fixed with a heat press machine, making it convenient for tourists to take away. It is very thoughtful. The big roll was very thick, chewy and had a nice bite, and the meat was tender and juicy. The only problem is that the stuffing is heavier in taste and not everyone likes it. Another specialty is the cup-cup Crakling (fried pork skin), which is generous in portion and crispy, but has a hard texture. Average cost per person: £10. The York Roast Co. 4 Stonegate, York YO1 8AS #silverjourney #uktravel #york #yorkroastco #yorkshirepudding #foodie

✿ History Is Not Was, It Is. ✿ St Crux was once considered one of York's finest churches and underwent several reconstructions - stone carvings were incorporated into the north wall in the 14th century, Italianate styles were added in the 16th century, etc., until it was closed and demolished in the 18th century. Described by the press as "perhaps the most famous lost church of York", translated as the most famous lost church. The present-day St Crux is a parish hall built on the site, a medieval relic with a vertical east window and a monument. It is currently used as a tea room and a venue for charity sales. The lobby is elegant and classic, the refreshments are delicious, and the overall atmosphere is pure and peaceful. If you come across an irregular charity sale, you can also go treasure hunting - books, handicrafts, nostalgic items, etc. The volunteers are warm and hospitable, and they share local history and information during the communication, making you feel at home and benefit a lot. St Crux York YO1 8BL #silverjourney #uktravel #york #stcrux

✿ The Streets Are Called Gates, The Gates Are Called Bars, And The Bars Are Called Pubs. ✿ Many of York's street names have the word Gate, which is actually derived from the Viking word "Gata", which means street. There are about 24 Gates in the city of York. Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate is the longest street name in York, and at the same time the shortest street in York, only 9-10 meters long. This Gate has a small reputation for extreme differences and is very unique. Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate originates from medieval Anglo-Saxon (Anglo-Saxon/Old English) and has the meaning of What A Street/Neither One Thing Nor The Other. There are also rumors that Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate was the site of whipping prisoners in the Middle Ages. Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate is located near the entrance to Shambles (Meat Shop Street), directly behind St Crux Church. If you don't pay special attention, you will really pass by without knowing it, and you have to walk through it repeatedly to discover the records of the archway. It is recommended to stop by when visiting Shambles, the streets of about ten steps, but record the long historical changes.

Only the main course contains only a very small amount of side dishes, the vegetables are not enough to greasy to make people leak stagnant, slightly discolored.
