#uktrip Exploring York was a highlight of my trip! 🌆 The city’s rich history and charming streets made for a perfect day out. I started at the York Minster, an awe-inspiring cathedral with a modest entrance fee of around £12. The stained glass windows and Gothic architecture were breathtaking 🏰. Strolling along the Shambles, I found it to be one of the most picturesque streets in the UK, with its medieval buildings and quirky shops 🛍️. Next, I visited the National Railway Museum, which was free and packed with fascinating exhibits about the history of trains 🚂. For a touch of local culture, I wandered through the York Museum Gardens, a lovely spot to relax and enjoy some greenery 🌿. Don’t miss the chance to walk along the city walls for stunning views of York and its surroundings. #trip #YorkCity #YorkMinster #NationalRailwayMuseum #TheShambles #CityWalls
