A Weekend in York

Travel Diaries York.jpgLast weekend, we went to York! We took the train up on the Saturday morning, and came back Sunday afternoon.

So many people had told me I should go to York before I leave, and I now have to pass on that advice. York is absolutely stunning! It’s a fantastic walled city with a beautiful Cathedral – my photo’s don’t do it justice. The walls are amazing – you can walk all the way around the city on elevated walks with places for archers to protect the city. It also has several very good pubs, and some very lovely cocktails at the Grand Hotel. In particular I can highly recommend the Strawberry Cheesecake Martini – cheesecake and alcohol, what more can a girl ask for?

It’s a very easy weekend excursion from London, without having to deal with airports and security. Have a look at my photos, but make sure to google it too – these aren’t as good as they might have been!York
