15 Things To Do In York, England | UK Travel Guide

[@w.m.aslam-author]

I visited York on Saturday with a friend and it was brilliant! Your video gave me lots of ideas and helped me and my friend prepare our trip. I was in awe most of the time, as there was so much to see and in such a small area. It's a wonderful city with lovely people. I highly recommend a visit. Two or three days is enough to enjoy most of the sights, but it is possible to cram in lots in one day too. One can see lots of things for free so it doesn’t have to be an expensive trip. Parking was £16 as we stayed for more than 5 hours. Our (free) visit to the York Art Gallery was our highlight. Thank you for sharing your tour.

[@OurTravelPlace]

Thanks for sharing your trip, I'm glad you had a nice time 🙂 There really is so much to do given the size, we've been many times and still not done it all! Agree that 2 or 3 days would be a good amount of time for a visit

[@SebbusWebbus]

9:48 For someone who isn’t particularly interested in trains, THANK YOU for using the correct terminology! You quite clearly actually paid attention and did your research before talking about it. It is so infuriating to me the amount of people who call locomotives “trains” and whatnot.

[@OurTravelPlace]

Thank you, I do try my best with the research 😊 And thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to comment - it's much appreciated!

Just found your channel and I had to subscribe immediately! Your video is very informative, visually pleasing and I enjoy your narration too. I will be in York this fall for the first time, and having already watched multiple vlogs about York, I feel like you have the most thorough and helpful video that I have seen. I hope you continue posting content, and am going to look at the previous videos on your channel.

The wizard shop is Harry Potter and there's I think 3 or 4 of them on the Shambles! I guess there are so many of them because The Shambles was rumoured to be the inspiration for Diagon Ally (I can see why from looking at the street), but as far as I know it was just a rumour and isn't actually true! 😂

It's definitely worth the admission into the Minster, and I realise I forgot to mention that once you pay for your ticket you can use it to re-enter as many times as you like for the next 12 months (which I appreciate is more useful for us who are relatively local!).
