6:28 A lot of it was created very recently because they’re constantly renovating and replacing bits. Fred Dibnah goes behind the scenes at York Minster in one of his documentaries and it shows a guy in a workshop replacing a damaged stone flower the size of your fist… which takes 2 weeks to carve!

It used to be great, until they decided to downsize and remove loads of the interactive elements. Was always a fun place for kids but it’s just not anymore. Most of the locos such as the Shinkansen are closed and it is now forbidden to stand on the footplates of the steam locos, that used to be accessible.

The Roman Ninth legion founded Eboracum in 71AD as a garrison then it grew into a town, when the Saxons invaded and settled Eboracum became known as Eoforwic, then when the Viking Great Heathen Army invaded then settled it became known as Jórvík, then as the English language involved it became Yourke, and then York

Hi both. You brought me to tears again, but emotional this time, not laughing. My late father was in Bomber Command in WW2 and was stationed with 102 Sqdn at Pocklington, Yorkshire. Betty's Tea Room used to welcome servicemen and they used to sign the mirrors, some of which are still preserved and on show. B4 my father died we were able to take him back to Yorkshire for a holiday and revisited his old haunts, inc Betty's and his old airfield. The lovely people in Betty's, in beautiful uniforms with old fashioned pinafores, made a big fuss of him and did not charge for his cakes and drinks. It is indeed a beautiful place. You MUST go tho I fear your heads will fall off with spinning around to see everything!! Take care both. Hearts out to everyone in the bad weather down Florida way. Nana Karen UK X

Went to York with my eldest daughter in June for four days. Saw most of the things shown on this video. They had put a statue of our late Queen on the Minster recently. It is a incredible massive building. Walked the city walls which surround the medieval city, the city now reaches much further than the walls. Took a ghost tour. The guide stood in the pouring rain but still kept going even although he was drenched to the skin. A real yorkshireman. An American tourist asked who Guy Fawkes was, and we replied the old joke, "he was the last man to enter parliament with good intentions". York is a gem of a city!

[@reactingtomyroots]

What was discovered in recent times is that medieval buildings in places like The Shambles and newer ones still occupy plots of land with identical widths that were divided up at the time of the Viking occupation circa the 700-800s.

I live about fifty minutes from York in a small moorland village. Our nearest town is Whitby a beautiful, historic seaside town.

York is easy to get to by train from London, you don’t need a car to get around the city, most places are an easy walk from the station, it’s so worth a visit, it even more beautiful when you get there in person, Bath is another must visit place

[@jamessanderson9258]

The city has spread well beyond the city walls these days, but the Medieval part of the city is entirely enclosed. York is a very nice city to live in, there is so much to be done in and around the city. it can be a little expensive though, particularly when compared to the rest of the North of England. Your idea on cycling in York would also be a great idea. the cycle routes here are pretty good and you can easily get into the countryside with a bike in an hour or so.

[@richhawks1]

I spent my early years in 1960s York and still struggle to think of a more benign place and time in the history of the world to have enjoyed a childhood. In the late 60s I raised 11/6 that’s 11 shillings and sixpence (57.5p) for the Minster Appeal Fund by selling apples from the family garden. That’s my small contribution to the history of this wonderful city.

I’m only half way through the vid so far so I don’t know if it’s gonna be mentioned later on. But when you guys come over to the uk, and you visit York, you MUST take Sophia in the Jorvik Viking Centre. She would absolutely love it. It takes you on a ride through old Viking times by going through old streets, seeing how they lived, how they ate, the homes they made etc. but be warned… there’s a smell. It’s a smell of how it would’ve been back then but it’s a smell that no matter how many years later after visiting, if anyone mentioned the Viking centre, you’ll still smell it. I was probably about 9/10 years old when I went and I can still smell it now! But it’s an incredible place to visit Edit: ok so they mentioned it but not in much detail. If you could maybe find a video which gives you more info on the Viking centre, perhaps that would be helpful for you. I know Sophia would really enjoy it

[@reactingtomyroots]

Thanks for the info! It will definitely be a must visit when we make it that way :)

York is also reputed to be one of the most haunted places in England. There are lots of ghost tours around the city at night, which are both entertaining and informative (and can be quite scary). Something not shown in the video was the location in York where Constantine the Great was proclaimed emperor of Rome in AD 306. There is a statue of him on the site now. Only touched on in the video is the fact that York was once known as Chocolate City, because so much was made there by world-famous companies like Rowntree's and Terry's. Millions of KitKats and Aeros are still produced in York every day.

I was brought up near York and lived there for a while and still visit regularly as I have family near there.. It is a very popular tourist destination and can be crowded out with tourists groups, to the point that at one time the Council were trying to persuade groups not to come. Having said that it is very beautiful and the centre is easy to explore on foot. Two major museums in York were not mentioned in the video, the York Castle Museum has a whole recreated Victorian street with shops and the Railway Museum has an extensive collection of trains and carriages. Barley Hall is a medieval merchant’s house and Merchant Adventurer’s Hall is a medieval Guildhall. All of these are well worth a visit. If you come here you need to spend at least 5 days in York to begin to explore its treasures.

York is certainly just like that. Many years ago I spent the night there; it was Christmas tide and there'd been quite a lot of snow. Everyone was dressed in Dickensian costume; the carol singers had started it and all the other people had followed suit. It was magical, like going back in time.

I lived in York for three years and this video has made me realise how much I took it for granted! You're right... to have that ancient stuff that you can see, walk on and touch every day is really something special! You're also right... it's _completely_ walkable and it has a strong cycling culture. It does have a small town vibe... it was hard to go into town and _not_ bump into someone you know. Must do? I really think a circuit of the city walls is the best thing. It's free, it's good exercise and you get amazing views of the city.

Oh and don’t forget to stop by the York ghost merchants to buy an adorable figurine for Sophia!

York is stunning. Much of it is a modern town but then you walk beyond the old wall, and down the shambles and its like going back in time.
