York
7 - 11 February 2005
    
 In early February 2005 we spent a week in York.  It's a lovely town and I recommend a visit.

   

The Shambles, one of the best preserved
medieval towns in Europe.

  

  

  
No trip to York is complete without a visit to York Minster, the grand cathedral in the centre of town.  You can't miss it.
   

York, like most ancient settlements, is a walled city.
Much of the wall is still intact.

  

  

  
York's streets are lively, with many pubs, restaurants, shops and opportunities to be entertained..

Having been settled by Vikings there are, naturally, real Vikings there.  Keep an eye on your womenfolk.
