[@catherine6977]

Victoria Street in Edinburgh was the inspiration for Diagon Alley, not the Shambles, although equally beautiful 😍

[@davidwolstenholme4676]

im 79 i married my first girlfriend ( till she died in 2013) in 1966 we were born in york.

[@alistairbolden6340]

You kinda missed the point of going to York sadly,the reason Brits like York is Yorvick, Durham Cathedral just up the road is more impressive than Yorks, but I'm glade you guys had a good time anyway.

[@revbenf6870]

Yorkshire pudding was born for gravy! As part of a roast dinner it soaks up the gravy and is delicious!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We wish we had gravy with it! - Trevor

[@wildwine6400]

Yep. They sell gravy for dunking

[@CarolWoosey-ck2rg]

The city of Chester has town walls too - Yorkshire pudding is not bread, it's a batter 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@andywrong3247]

That told them,pity about the wrap a novelty act if you ask me always going to be dry with a danger of falling apart with gravy.

[@MichelleEaton]

That is very true @@andywrong3247

[@gordonhayward4409]

As far as I know the Shambles is an old word for slaughterhouse, which is why there are so many butchers shops there with the hooks that they used auto hang the carcass on the outside of the shop. As you can imagine the slaughterhouse got very messy so the word shambles became associated with a messy or chaotic area, but not its original meaning.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

It's such a unique part of the city that's for sure. We had a blast exploring 🤗 - Anna

[@annother3350]

A shambles is the pile of blood and guts which the butcher discarded after his day of butchering. All the yucky bits!!

[@TheCornishCockney]

The reason we have such a green land is BECAUSE of the right amount of rain and sun. The perfect climate. Did you know that New York has a fair bit more average rainfall than London? Paris certainly has more. But that’s generalisations for you,our summers,especially recent years,are often too hot!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

🤗

[@ToriP66]

We were "stuck" there during the 2000 petrol crisis. A week exploring this amazing city. 😊

[@DaveBartlett]

'Shambles' as a name, has more to do with the Butchers that used to trade there than you think. 'Shambles' was once a term for 'an open-air slaughterhouse and meat market'. (In Old English, a 'shamble' [sċeamol] was originally a bench for the sale of goods, probably from the Norse word 'shammel' which described shelves that stores used to display their wares.) The modern term "shambles" (or 'shamble', 'shambolic', etc.) derives from this definition, thought to have originally described the disarray of animal parts & blood that was evident at a Shambles.

[@travelertrome8449]

Love Yorkshire pudding! Tastes great as a side to prime rib! 😋 Such a charming city. I have been to the UK 5 times but never to York. Perhaps will add it to my itinerary on trip #6!

[@andywrong3247]

Try Yorkshire pudding with sausage mashed potatoes &onion gravy,chester has a wall around.planning permission in york district dictates no modern building can be taller than the minister.

[@alisoncauser2955]

Yorkshire pudding traditionally was served before a meal with gravy or onion gravy. As a filler. But now is generally eaten as part of a Sunday roast.

[@cynicalgenXcyclist]

I spend a lot of time in York for work as its a big railway hub. One of my favorite places in the UK along with Edinburgh. If you liked York then Durham is a great place with lots of history.

[@paulamatt614]

I live 20 miles from York. I love visiting the market off the Shambles, and love to walk around the Museum Gardens . Often taken a boat trip on the river Ouse too. . Thanks for visiting York and showing how lovely the city is .

[@glastonbury4304]

Cant beat home cooking in the UK ❤

[@colleenc2023]

Thank you for the very informative video about York. I was fascinated by all the interesting facts about this city, including the awe inspiring cathedral ⛪️!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Glad you enjoyed it Colleen! We hope you're doing great! - Trevor

[@kaylaable]

I live a 15-minute walk away from it and you can see it from my house 😂

[@EnglishBulldogMom]

Looks amazing…im going to London in winter …I’m so excited…I love British food … thanks for sharing…enjoy…

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We'll be eating lots of yummy British Food in the next video 🤤- Anna

[@Poet1952]

Beautiful interior shots of the cathedral. Thanks!

[@paulspencer4631]

You can buy a York City pass which gets you into all the attractions. The railway museum is also free.

[@vesnavenlo]

Have you been to our Lincoln? Not far from York and equally if not more impressive cathedral. Me and my husband are huge fans of your channel - surreal that you are here :) Do you fancy a lunch? lol

[@kat2270]

Pillars of the Earth was also dramatised. Well worth a watch.

[@arlenepettipas4564]

Oh wow guys, absolutely gorgeous church. I can't believe the year it was built. Totally amazing! Hey, that 🍺 looked tempting 😋 Great video !! Thanks

[@DelightfulTravellers]

It's so beautiful in person. What a place! - Anna

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

YES! We are points people too! Stayed 4 nights on points at Niagara Falls (Canadian side) on points would have been $250 USD per night. We cannot wait to properly visit the UK, York looks amazing. Great video guys! ~Cara PS. We did the survey minutes after you first posted. 😊

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Luv it guys! Thanks for filling that out. We should have more info on the group trip in the next couple weeks 🤗 - Anna

[@SuperKopykat]

These churches totally remind me of Pillars of the Earth.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Right! Haha I thought someone else would think so too 🤗 - Anna

[@westernnut8407]

That book is still in my head even though I read it many, many years ago. It's nice to have those stories as a point of reference when you visit such an overwhelming cathedral. It brings the time period and the lives of the craftsmen to life.

[@minhearg8331]

Originally a street of butchers' shops, the name “Shambles” is derived from the Old English word “fleshammels,” meaning “slaughterhouses.”

[@sandrahilton3239]

Chester has roman walls. Its a very beautiful town.

[@shareonrivas1458]

GREAT VID!!

[@emilyserafamanschot800]

We walked the city walls in Rothenbury, Germany. Cute little town with an amazing Christmas store!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Now that… sounds like an amazing time - Trevor

[@markp5739]

Yorkshire pudding should always have gravy on it as part of a plated dinner. As a wrap is literally had by nobody and just seems wrong. Great vids 👍🏻

[@veradanson5890]

My favourite city in England.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

It’s quite the city right!? 😍 We had so much fun exploring - Anna

[@juliebrooke6099]

So glad you enjoyed your visit to my home city.

[@glastonbury4304]

Love your vlogs

[@janicepottie802]

Looking forward to your video to London! Hoping to be there this time next year!!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Can’t wait to share it! 🤙 - Trevor

Europe - You’re never more than a couple of hours flight away from any one of 20 different countries, foods, cultures, history, architecture, fashions. There’s no better or richer region in the world!

[@StartLivingNow1963]

Another Awesome Adventure Trevor & Anna🙂Thank You🙂

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Glad you enjoyed it Robert! Lots more on the way - Anna

[@Spindler2007]

York is indeed a very lovely city and it's good to hear you had a good time there despite the weather lol. I'm going there to stay for one night this December which I'm already excited for as I went to York last year to do some Christmas shopping and it was brilliant. If you ever plan on visiting York again in the future, I would recommend visiting during December as it is an amazing experience seeing York at Christmas with all the decorations and the lights creating such a nice atmosphere across the city.

[@clarehowells8157]

when you are next back in Halifax you should have Sunday Lunch (Roast dinner) @ Quinn's Arms on Quinnpool Road - delicious! but definitely book

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Oh good to know they are doing that! - Trevor

[@helennuttall]

Excellent! I’m Yorkshire born and bred….centre of the Universe! 😂🤗

[@DelightfulTravellers]

haha... 😅 - Trevor

[@user-ze5tu4ck1t]

Shambles is Where Butchers was situated, I have a Shambles in my own Town.

[@Ayne-ny4em]

We can't control ghe weather lol. Great vlog😊

[@lynnballington8467]

Hello Trevor and Hanna how are you both love your vidio of york its a fantastic history place we went there last month and we had a fantastic time we stayed in a guest house near the river oouse best wishes take care stay safe from Lynn x ❤😅

[@chrisjones2224]

The shambles wasn't named because it was a mess, that is not the original meaning of the word shambles. The now archaic meaning was a slaighterhouse, a place were animals were butchered, if you look at many of the shops on yhe shables the rail and hooks that the cuts were hung from are still present.

[@redf7209]

Everyone seems to miss the National railways museum in York and Jorvik centre

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning all happy Sunday morning and I just wanted to say that you all amazing Supporter

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thanks Edward! It's always great reading your comments 🤗- Anna

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

​@DelightfulTravellers good morning all your welcome sending you hugs ❤️ 🤗

[@Dave534]

The Viking centre is worth visiting in You

[@stevepage5813]

Steve from Halifax here (no not that one - Nova Scotia,) but the probably original one in Yorkshire, England. Therefore I certainly do know what Yorkshire puddings are. I think you should put extra gravy on the wrap next time. P.S. If you don't like the weather in England etc.... just wait ten minutes. There isn't the wrong weather actually, just the wrong clothes. P.P.S. The Shambles's houses etc.... are like that because the footprint was very expensive in the day, so the upper floors were built jutting out as they got higher at no extra ground cost. Sometimes people could literally shake hands with an opposite neighboUr from the upper floors.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thanks for the great comment Steve. We so appreciate you watching from the the other Halifax! 👍 - Trevor

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

I live so close to York that I could ... on the roof of the Minster from my front door. `Been there countless times - and who wouldn`t have taken the opportunity ? Living so close ? I get confused as to which Holy Roman Emperor was crowned there. But I think it was that man who came to be known as Constantine The Great. Crowned and proclaimed Emperor by his troops, essentially, who often swore fealty to their General in the field - rather than the `boss` in Rome ( being so far from Rome ). I like visiting cities, but have not travelled far. I have been to the second City of Christendom, Rome, and the third, Santiago de Compostela ( The City of "Saint James of the Field of Stars" ). My natural appetite should, then, point me toward Jerusalem for my next sojourn - the First City of Christendom. But I have a mind to go to Istanbul / Constantinople. I`m not a huge fan of Harry Potter. I prefer Tolkein`s far more brilliant novels, The Silmarillion and of course, The Lord of the Rings. Tolkein spent some time in Yorkshire. Back then the Shires of Yorkshire were split into the North, West and East Ridings of Yorkshire. It makes me wonder if these names inspired him to come up with the `Shire - Farthings` in TLOTR`s.

[@glastonbury4304]

You gotta try Chester as well...

[@whattiler5102]

You could have spent a week in and around York, there is so much to see and do.

[@StephMcAlea]

They may be longest but the only complete walls (and mostly Roman) are in my home town of Chester.

[@johndowds5770]

Vikings ,no , Danes yes . Believe it or not ,the Danes would advertise when they went Viking , the head on their ships were detachable, when raiding the head would be on show .

[@schamber1000]

There's walls like that in Rothenburg, Germany and St. Pied de Port, Spain (before staring the Camino that I know you did.)

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Good to know!

[@joanhall3718]

Trever, you need to work on your “gentlemen skills “. You were holding the umbrella over yourself and the camera leaving Anna standing in the pouring rain 😂☔️

[@DelightfulTravellers]

haha.. well the Camera can't quite deal with the rain like Anna can 😉 - Trevor

[@BillyJ-vi8df]

Chester has a wall also

[@dellzincht]

Should've dressed up all fancy and went to Betty's for afternoon tea

[@MichelleEaton]

Anna is right, Yorkshire pudding needs gravy, but the wrap would fall apart if it was inside, so a dip would be perfect. Or maybe a syringe and pot of gravy, so you don't have to turn the wrap upside down. A business idea? Maybe I'm overthinking it lol 🤣

[@DelightfulTravellers]

haha I like your thinking! 🤗 - Anna

[@paulspencer4631]

You should have gone to the York dungeons.

[@chadoakley8505]

Moxy has a very consistent look. Moxy York, looks just like the Moxy I stayed at in Lisbon and the Moxy in Minneapolis... it is a nice look though.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

It's a great look.. it was just like the one in Glasgow as well - Trevor

[@nicksykes4575]

Chester still has almost complete city walls.

[@user-ol3il1yg7l]

I live in york

[@JohnDuffy-vc8wr]

Chester.

Remember, Campeche has a that protected it from pirates 😂

[@johnwaldron7490]

The USA is immense as is Canada, but all of us Europeans would never swap with you, we have Castles, Architecture, History lots of Topography, you have Guns Guns & more Guns, it’s far safer this side of the Pond.

[@ianplatt1375]

Canterbury has a city wall the most interesting city on the planet

[@maxmoore9955]

Didn't you go below York Minster and see the Roman Ruins ?.Im very surprised.

[@briwire138]

Yorkshire pudding wraps are a recent thing, in my opinion it's not what they were meant for. Their true purpose in Yorkshire is the size of the plate, with the meat, veg and potatoes inside it along with gravy and eaten with a knife and fork. Outside Yorkshire, they are a lot smaller and accompany the dinner rather than contain it.

[@Pure_B]

Did you say the lager is from right here in New York? I had to put the subtitles on to see if I was hearing things and the subtitles said the same. 😂

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Definitely said York haha! - Trevor

[@sandrahilton3239]

westminster abbey was started in the 900's. Im sure its older than York minster.

[@dickdastardly1883]

York minster is officially dated as 1386 years old ( 637 AD ), to the date of the first church on that site.

[@paulc8617]

There has been a church on the site of the minster since the 600s

[@glastonbury4304]

Remember most establishments hate AMEX and Diners cards and dont take them due to the amount of commission they take from the retailer...

[@adnaneroglu2500]

👍🙋🙂👏

[@DelightfulTravellers]

🤙

[@garlichr]

Those Yorkie Wraps are just a gimmick for tourists. Thats not proper Yorkshire Pudding, and nobody eats Yorkies "dry" like that.

[@DJhinckley]

4:00 walking past Grape Lane completely oblivious. If only you pair were aware of the street name etymology..

[@JohnDuffy-vc8wr]

Clov😢ely. Devon, somerset,

[@stephencurran9716]

Go to national railway Museum

[@doctordunc]

People on these videos keep referring to Yorkshire pudding as bread or "like bread" which is very confusing. It's much more like a pancake. I think people have an odd expectation of it if they've convinced themselves it's a sort of bread roll.

[@BeckyPoleninja]

Yorkshire pudding is not bread, its a batter

[@DelightfulTravellers]

🤔🤷🏻

[@BeckyPoleninja]

@@DelightfulTravellers eggs, milk, flour. Cooked in the oven in a pan with some hot oil.

[@westernnut8407]

Loved watching you explore York. Some of my very early ancestors were from there and it's on my bucket list. I love watching you explore new places and I can't wait to see the rest of this series. ❤

[@10wanderer]

300 QUID ?????

[@kathybarber5687]

It’s called the shambles because of the window ledges out side each shop were called shambles , where the butchers used to display their goods the shambles isn’t a mess . It’s shape come from being taxed for the floor size . So they were smaller on the ground floor .

[@JohnnieAshton]

Sorry but you have been misinformed. Shambles was the old word used for slaughterhouses, and hence Butchers premises, which were always messy, hence shambolic. Nothing to do with Architecture. The reason for building houses like that was so the furniture, like wardrobes and heavy chests full of heavy woollen materials, were placed against the walls on upper floors, this put the weight directly onto the foundations.

[@neuralwarp]

Not "The York Minster". Just "York Minster".

[@DelightfulTravellers]

🙄 lol

[@leeboi222]

i refuse to pay to go into a church, it's ridiculous

[@werkawerka6712]

Wtf is this flag ?

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Heard of England? - Trevor

[@TreVader1378]

Always always always ask for gravy.

[@TreVader1378]

You really need to get to Northumberland, where you can go to Hogwarts or Alnwick castle.

[@dickdastardly1883]

I think the reason York minster is never ‘full’ now is due to the disgusting amount they charge to enter. I live 10 mins away from York and visit/shop regularly and I used to go into the minster most times as it was FREE to enter… then they started to charge. It was £10 per adult then, so I stopped going in which is there loss as I always purchased from the gift shop, spending on average £20-30.
