[@DarcyDigs]

"Buy the pie when you see the pie". Words of wisdom! Incredibly enjoyable vlog and I booked my Jorvik tickets now thanks to you. And oh, my God, the fudge shop! 😍

[@donnkay]

Wow York is so beautiful can’t wait to visit it

[@griffalosoldiertv]

Thanks for sharing your trip to York, I’m going next month and now have a better idea of what I’ll get up to! You’ve got such a lovely smile btw😊

[@HuesofDelahaye]

I’m glad to hear that. Have fun

[@LouandLolsTravels]

Nice video. Never knew about the city pass so thank you so much for sharing 👍

[@HuesofDelahaye]

Thanks you, yes the city pass is great if you are going to be visiting multiple attractions

[@larsson7709]

Great guide thanks ..

[@pdpiper]

Great vid! Planning to do a day trip soon. The York pass sounds like a great idea. Thanks

[@HuesofDelahaye]

Yes, the York Pass is really good and you’re getting a discount on the entrance fees

[@stevehessle1959]

Pleased that you enjoyed York - it's a fine City, only 35 miles from my home. I used to work there and a great time to visit is early Autumn when the days are still warm(ish), the trees are starting to change colour and the big influx of tourists has subsided. One free thing in York is the National Railway Museum and is huge, quite close to the railway station - maybe 5 or 6 minutes walk.

[@HuesofDelahaye]

Yes, I loved visiting York. I’m looking to visit again and there are so much more I want to see. The Railway Museum wasn’t open at the time I visited due to everything going on. But I did walk pass it

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Loved it, and thanks for all the information. Great video.👍😊🇨🇮

[@HuesofDelahaye]

You’re Welcome & I’m glad you liked York!

[@aderlinyap7480]

[@d_rock24]

I’ve never consider visiting York before but it looks so cool especially walking the wall and visiting Shambles market. Thanks for sharing your vid and experience of York!

[@clarea1801]

You should go, it's definitely a great city.

[@Famu.0ix]

I think u should every month me and my family have a walk in the city centre it’s so fun it reminds me of diatom alley in hp

[@bnedd6618]

Thanks for the great intro to York. Now I really want to travel there.

[@HuesofDelahaye]

Just got back from York. Amazing place to visit for a city break.

[@HuesofDelahaye]

Glad you enjoyed you visit to York. It is great for a city break and I’m planing on visiting again next month 😊.

[@RbbidThunderEdits]

People always think of New York when someone say York, Glad someone finally Recognises The original York :) Good video:)

[@HuesofDelahaye]

Lol, I know right. I have day York England as people just think I’m talking about New York.

[@DjTriniyankee]

Well im born in new york and when i go to england i must visit york, new york is actually named after the duke of york in england, so its only right!

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

I have never heard anyone make that mistake. Who says that?

[@monica4791]

York looks beautiful. My husband and I are going this summer so this video was very helpful ♡

[@HuesofDelahaye]

glad to hear that the video helped.

[@aoi8419]

Thanks for sharing this video. Very Beautiful York, can't wait to visit Shambles.

[@HuesofDelahaye]

You will love it when you visit … go early to have the place to yourself

[@dinerouk]

The Diagon alley of Yorkshire :)

[@JudeRedling]

Lovely vid, I’ve booked to go there for a week. Nice to see places I can go too😊

[@HuesofDelahaye]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@Crina-LudmilaCristeaAuthor]

Lovely video!

[@michaelhall8586]

Wow York looks so pretty!

[@HuesofDelahaye]

it really is, can't wait to go back

[@vidooseesunkur7047]

beautiful, informative

[@HuesofDelahaye]

thank you

[@chrisshelley3027]

I am so pleased that you have done a proper video of York, there is so much there more than London in many ways and so much cheaper too, people who visit go to London and say that they have seen England, but they really haven't begun to scratch the surface, York and the North of England, Scotland and Wales have far more to offer than London at a fraction of the cost and often for free. The train that you saw at the end of the video leaves York and travels to Carlisle going through North Yorkshire and the award winning North Yorkshire scenery, it takes a full day but is a must do if you are staying for a few weeks (it has to be booked in advance) but you will get to see parts of the country that you otherwise would miss and some that can only be seen/experienced by rail, so we'll worth finding out more about.

[@HuesofDelahaye]

Thank you. Yes I know London is not England abs there are so many historic and beautiful places in to UK to see. I definitely want to do that train ride as soon as things get back to normal

[@misxsosa]

Hey! Just saw your comment and I’m visiting UK next month. York is already on my itinerary but are there places your recommend I visit?

[@chrisshelley3027]

@@misxsosa Hi, if you will be travelling by car then perhaps Mother Shiptons Cave, there is a Tom Scott video on here that explains it but doesn't show the touristy side but as its him it's well worth a look, there's other videos that give the tourist side, other things to do while there etc worth looking at, really from York you are well placed for visiting quite a lot of places by car and rail, don't forget the national railway museum in York too, its free and you can climb on some of the old carriages and engines too, some from the Victoriana era etc and all free, a £2 donation isn't needed but the gesture is much appreciated on entry to the museum, it's by the railway station and over a bridge across the lines. If you want to visit the coast Whitby is quite close, the Abbey ruins were the inspiration for the book, play, film/s Dracula, but Whitby is beautiful, a seaside town with a harbour and shops yet not overly commercialised, by the way is this Ethan?

[@misxsosa]

@@chrisshelley3027 Thank you! How do you recommend I get to Whitby from York? And no this isn't Ethan haha

[@chrisshelley3027]

It would have to be by car, there is a bus but its a 3 hour journey and it's from Leeds, you could get a train to Scarborough and a bus from there to Whitby, that shouldn't take too long.

[@margaretpater3046]

Love the video I'm going to York in 2024

[@fayela9597]

Loved this😍Going for a short break with my 8 year old daughter soon and this has really helped and made us get excitwd😊. We will also make sure to take yoir advice 'buy the pie when you see the pie" 😂😂😂 Xxx

[@scottjoe5461]

Hi ❤ your video

[@barbaram5214]

Good tips, especially about booking York Minster in advance. I’m planning two days there in December and I’m hoping there will be Christmas markets.

[@HuesofDelahaye]

Yes, book to make sure you get in. It will be really nice in December. Also see if you book a table at Betty’s for afternoon tea

[@imranzazai7404]

England is so beautiful country.

[@HuesofDelahaye]

I really is

[@brianmorrison9168]

Great video .. my wife and I are planning a mini break to York, so learning about the York Pass was very useful. Just one thing though, there is no letter i in the middle of The Minster Regards from Whitley Bay

[@Telboy555]

Thankyou

[@Famu.0ix]

I went to the city centre on my bday btw I live in York and I bought so much stuff😍

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

thank you, loved the video! No need for club music or sad pop music, though! I skip those bits unfortunately. I think that's something that suits gen z and americans! The natural ambience is more than enough or even classical music - anything that suits York.

[@markhirstwood4190]

Thanks for this. I love the walls, but so much more of course. Jórvík (most likely) meant 'deep inlet', just like in Gjøvik, Oppland, Norway. Yur-veek, Yuh-veek. Vik (veek) is also of course, the root of Vikings. Men from the inlets, or bays, mainly around Vestfold (west of the Olsofjord), Norway but also other areas and countries of course as well, including Denmark and Sweden. The Cawood Sword, found south of York is probably from a workshop in eastern Norway, not very far from Gjøvik, though these are technically, just barely post-Viking Age as they are likely early 1100s CE, which makes sense considering their quality culminating at the end of that age. York is virtually the 'Viking Capital City' according to Sir Tony Robinson and I agree. As an English king said in not too distant times, the history of York is the history of England. You can see virtual clones of Norwegians and also Danes, in York, but all through Yorkshire, and I see they come from Lincolnshire and Leicestershire as well, where the Great Heathen Army mostly settled. Voices, faces, eyes, hair, skin, skyles/preferences/fashions, movement & gait, they are around if you are aware and observant, much more interesting than even the historical Jórvík Viking Centre. My great, great grandfather was born in York (then came to York, Ontario, later Toronto) and the family had a China manufactory on Stonegate (Stein Gata, just like in Norway, or Stone Street). Many of our Canadian branch have always had at least some uncanny Norwegian thread or threads running through out lives and I'm no exception, feeling drawn to both York (more than once) and eastern, southern and also western Norway, more than once. It is in our mix, to varying degrees as 23andme has confirmed. I'm 6'4" unlike most (any?) other relatives of mine on either side of the pond. I felt more normal height and even frame/build in Norway and Denmark. The Anglian Tower and also St Olave's church are also worth a look.

[@HuesofDelahaye]

You have such great know on this, thank you.

[@jerry2357]

"Jorvik" is a nordicisation of "Eoforwic", the Anglian name of York, which itself was partly derived from the Roman name "Eboracum". "Ebor" -> "Eofor" -> "Jor" -> "Yor".

[@deankirk8554]

I'm going York for my wife's birthday next month 👍

[@HuesofDelahaye]

She will live it! Check out Betty’s for an afternoon tea experience.

[@rachealchukwusah7170]

Hello ma, this is a nice video. So happy I came across your video. Please, how do I go about the house hunt I'm in Oakdale York, England. And how much is the estimate for rent? It's really important for me as I will be coming there soon... Thank you.

[@docktower4465]

Nice video from someone who visits York regularly surprised York castle museum and railway museum didn't get a mention but very good

[@HuesofDelahaye]

Thanks, I didn’t get a chance to visit those spots on the day.

[@amenerstugard1894]

Absolutely fantastic video. :-) Thank you SO much. :-) Please only next time check the volume of the music between sections. I almost fell on the floor from my chair when the *WAY* too loud music attacked me. But, I repeat, the video and your way of presenting everything is extremely enjoyable (when you are TALKING - without that awful noise - using your beautiful voice). :-)

[@HuesofDelahaye]

Thank you for the feedback … I hadn’t realised it was so loud. Glad you enjoyed the video

[@johnwilletts3984]

To get the most out of your visit to York I would like to recommend a free walking tour with the Association of Voluntary Guides, the AVG. Check us out on line. These two hour tours are completely free with no tips or commercial recommendations. The tours provide a background of York’s history and how the buildings fit into the story. You may even have a few laughs on the way round As well as meeting other visitors.

[@HuesofDelahaye]

Thanks for the information on the walking. Will do this next time I’m in York

[@johncooper8295]

thank you for the video, if i get the york pass...do i still have to book tickets for places to visit?

[@pdpiper]

Depends which attractions you want to visit... From what i have gathered

[@HuesofDelahaye]

Yes, it depend on the York Pass, you’ll be able to see which attractions are covered by it before you purchase it

[@henryhouseman9912]

You can go into The Minster for free if you attend Evensong.

[@keithhilton1564]

York is a beautiful place, just keep away on race days and Saturdays. Loads of hen parties and the likes.

[@HuesofDelahaye]

It is, lol. I didn’t see the any hen parties will I was there but I did visit the race track …. But it wasn’t a race day

[@truckerfromreno]

Looks amazing. Brilliant video. The music ruined it though.

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

lol yeh i don't know why people add music to their videos. it ruins the ambience.

[@dawnlindsay8976]

It is ‘The Minster’ not ‘The Minister’.

[@malcolmnicholls2893]

To any men watching - go to the railway museum. Second to none and close by.

[@Torioreo200]

Liking trains isn’t male exclusive 🤣

[@malcolmnicholls2893]

@@Torioreo200 Hi Tori. You must visit.

[@HuesofDelahaye]

Lol, I like train but the museum want open at the time when I visited. But also if you stand on the York train station you can actually see many different abs even vintage trains pass by

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

why men?

[@maxmoore3472]

Seems ironic to me ,given all history of York , Roman , viking ,that shops have sprung up ,about a fantasy, figure Harry Potter ,now I liked Harry Potter books ,but against the real history of York .? .

[@dinerouk]

Probably trying to associate Diagon alley with the shambles street.

[@tyke6351]

York is beautiful place . Much better than London.

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

in what way is it better?

[@tyke6351]

Way more pretty , loads of history and best of all it's in Yorkshire. Also it's cleaner , safer many reasons it better than London

[@nickcurry7986]

TURN THE MUSIC DOWN!!!!!

[@mickferguson4406]

Too many ads.
