The Grand Old Nook of York
For those who have visited and loved Edinburgh, York can be best described as “the Edinburgh of the north”. With stunning buildings, a wonderfully winding and twisting old town and a history packed with excitement and adventure, York and Scotland’s capital have far more in common than just what meets the eye – though looks make for a convincing argument, too.
York rates highly for short breaks because it’s such a delight to visit. If you care about where you choose for your holiday rather than just the idea of going on holiday itself, York could be the place for you. You can spend days exploring its labyrinthine streets and finding something you never noticed before every time. The historic Shambles is packed full of delightful shops specialising on wares from beautiful medieval style weapons to the finest in homemade chocolates.
There are abounding markets stocked with various crafts and cookery, including clothing you’ll find nowhere else, breathtaking jewellery and brilliant toys, particularly puppets and ventriloquist style dummies set to get the imagination going.
The thing about York is there’s something for everyone. Capitalising on its ancient city persona, there are plenty of attractions around for the history-conscious, from the castle to the majestically Gothic York Minister and York Viking Centre. Every night, there are a choice of ghost walks that take you through the town and tell absorbing stories of York’s morbid and haunting past. For true fans of the unexplained, the story of the Roman soldiers walking at hip-height through the basement of an old house will thrill, while tales of a demon dog roaming the streets at night will strike fear into even the canniest of tourists.
Perhaps best of all about York is the locals. Friendly and fun, you’ll never be short of people to chat to on your travels. Pubs and bars are a great place to meet people, as well as to sample locally-brewed ale that tops the chart of many connoisseurs. Brewed in a variety of styles with many well-known brand names having worked their way to the top, York and Yorkshire ale is something that will stay in your memory for a long time after your trip to this gorgeous city, contained in ancient walls, is over.
There are plenty of reasons to go to York, which is why it’s a good idea to start planning what to include in your itinerary as soon as you can. And if you don’t know where to start then many of the York hotels should be able to offer further information on what to do with your time in York.
