I visited York briefly many years ago and saw the city centre, the Minster and the Shambles. I can remember thinking at the time, WOW. Coming back again now it is all just as WOW as it was back then. Here are some of the things we saw today.
I took this using the iPhone panorama feature. Not bad.
York Minster: The largest gothic cathedral in northern Europe
Clifford’s Tower, York Castle
This pathway winds along the River Ouse and makes for a pleasant walk or ride into town. No car needed.

What a beautiful part of England. The architecture is stunning. You are going to have a wonderful experience there Rachel. Loving your photography.
Not a bad place to be stuck for 6 months! I may not want to leave…
Hey Rachel, what a stunning place, we are all coming over to share your beautiful experience. How many bedrooms do you have?
Not sure yet. We’re currently searching for a place to live.
Just as I remember it from when we were there in 1993 – except there was also a huge animatronics dinosaur exhibition at the museum(?), which was so realistic that we saw a couple of frightened small children reduced to tears.
But there is plenty of wonderful stuff without that.
Daniel would it if they still had one of those at the museum. We’ll visit there at some stage.
Like the architecture of these old stately looking buildings !
Gorgeous aren’t they. I love old buildings. Looking at them is free entertainment for me.
