Thank you for taking us along to York, loved walking along with you. Patti

[@chriskambouris5885]

I love all your content, but I specifically enjoy it when you, Sharon, and or Lee go on a walkabout. Sitting here in Australia, seeing the history of England is lovely, and your commentary always adds a bit of a giggle. Love your work. Keep it up!

[@stephanieboond1564]

I lived in Gladstone park,Tullamarine, Melbourne, Australia back in 1971 my parents and us 6 children Emigrated there but dad ended up wanting to come back here to England UK I was heartbroken it was a beautiful home we had and a beautiful place also,now I'm in my 60"s and only wish we could of continued living there.we have relatives in Adelaide and other parts of Australia.a beautiful place it is too.😊

[@AvaT42]

I enjoyed this trip. I have often seen pictures of the Shambles but never been on a walk down through it. So much history every corner you turn. I liked the market. Loved those army jeeps!!!😍

[@paulhewitt4233]

You did the right thing coming on a Sunday. It's good to see people's prospective of York who come to visit. Enjoy your stay

[@juliebajwa721]

Catching up on some of your past videos they are a treat. Thanks for taking us along you are very knowledgeable very entertaining. Love Sharons enthusiasm.

[@minnierose4398]

Loved this thank you - I can't get out yet loved visiting York with you! Lovely place - lovely company- thank you x

[@laurahayward1906]

Thank you for taking us on a lovely day out. As you know by now my favourite BE content is shopping or days out, so I thoroughly enjoyed this! York looks a very nice place to be and as always you both made the visit interesting and fun. That old pub (three tuns) if the walls there could talk! Looking forward to part two!

[@mrfrisky6501]

What a joy this channel is - just great! Don't change a thing ❤

Ooo I loved this vlog. York is one of my favourite places to visit but the old legs don't work so well these day's, so it was so nice of you two lovely people to do the walking for me.

Really enjoyed that day out with you both thanks for taking us with you York is a lovely place to visit

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Excellent video really enjoyed the walk around with you, york is a lovely place i love going there 👍

[@edsteenhorst6484]

We went to York and toured the Minster, saw the Roman ruins below the cathedral, and ambled through the Shambles. It was amazing that this was a busy economic, religious and political center, when the city I now live in wasn't even a gleam in a planner's eye.

[@petermoore4056]

Great visit to York, it really is a lovely place to visit. Apparently the reason it appears that people died long before reaching old age, is high birth mortality. The average brings down the age right down. Actually many lived long lives, much like today.

[@heidzsoder199]

❤ loved this video and spending the day with you both! Lovely York and mind where you're walking, Martin! X

Hi Sharon and Martin it’s lovely seeing where you are walking, it’s bringing back wonderful memories of our visits to York. Loved the Harry Potter shops and the Xmas shop, but our favourite was the evening ghost tours x

[@helenwilliamson7099]

Lovely York, we walked right round the wall, and went on a boat trip, it's really interesting and he buildings are wonderful, luv all those narrow streets, enjoyed that lovely to see it again. 😀 ❤

[@jewelleaf2207]

Hi thank you for sharing your trip of York with us I am a York lady born here and you did some lovely views of the attractions in York shame you found some things expensive the Clifford's Tower has been renovated at the cost of 5 Million you now see so much more once in there and the views once you enjoyed the rest are amazing £11.00 when visiting London or Stratford upon Avon , Many places are similar or more expensive than York and I just want people to know you can enjoy York on a tight budget also thank you again for sharing your trip to York...

[@jennyharman8893]

Hi Martin and Sharon my mum's side of the family used to live above the shrine in the shambles and I used to stay with my nanna who lived above it over summer holidays she used to open it up and get it ready for the mass on a Saturday and Sunday used to play in the market on a weekend as they didn't have them then couldn't let the bath water out until market closed as it would flood it they shambles used to be a butchers street and the gutters used to be to run all the blood form the meat if you saw some shops had hooks to hang the meat outside the shops windows St Margaret clitheroe helped priests escape and was stoned to death on a bridge forgotten the name of it if you pop it on u tube will tell you the story and the alley way on the shambles you went down is call whip ma wot ma gate and on the corner was a sweet shop I love York I could of showed you alot of alley ways and short cuts the graves are from people who died from the plague and they didn't move them as they were scared that if they did the plague would return I could go and have walked the wall you do have gaps in it and have to re join in other places

[@butlersempire]

Great info Jenny, thanks.

[@jennyharman8893]

Not sure if they are still as good back in the day they were but Peter gate fish and chip shop I would recommend again ran by a family friend in the 1980s to I think 2000 we didn't have to queue tho as my auntie worked they and we went to the back near the seating area and they was a side door collected and went back to my nans it not far from the shambles

It's a lovely City, Martin. I took my son there when he was a kid to the Railway Museum, that is free I think. Enjoy your stay.

[@deb5650]

GARGOYLES were originally used on Gothic churches to ward off the evil spirits. Their gruesome faces were meant to be ugly enough to scare the spirits 👿 Love the tour Sharon and Martin😮 Very well done, interesting and authentic, with great enthusiasm! So much history, it’s amazing. In fact, I was surprised to see all the American tanks, jeeps, etc…brought back a lot of memories for me of when I served in the U.S. Army in Panzer Kaserne which , at that time, was located in W. Germany! So much history in York…amazing! Thank you both so very much for the fantastic tour; so much better than so called tours on TV❣️ You folks make it soooo real, I actually feel as though I’m there in person with you even though it’s virtual. I loved the train journey as well and watching the beautiful English countryside ❤️ You two are THE BEST❤ God Bless❣️ BTW, I thought that was funny when you said that you follow The MacMaster on KZbin, as I do too, but still think Butlers Empire is numero uno❤

Very good video, enjoyed the look about with you both. The premier inn seems to be very good value

[@kevinlangston8465]

Love York. Best shop is the York Armory.

[@juliebrooke6099]

An old meaning of ‘shambles’ is a place where animals were slaughtered . The street in York was originally full of butchers shops and those wide window sills are where they used to display the meat.

[@allanmason7544]

great vid you should do some more of them walkabouts

You used to be able to rent a wee boat and drive it up and down the river

[@dantheman7370]

I remember once when we were there, there was a clearance sale at bhs, it was chaos, I managed to buy a pair of sandals for my odd sized feet as they were scattered all over the floor

[@1960gal]

I've loved watching this! And yep, we'd have had a 'Bacon Banjo' on both trains too! 😋 I keep saying to my husband that "when the dog pegs out*" we'll jump a train for a few days away (mid-week) when the mood takes us. We can get on (at the same station you did!😉) and get to Leeds, York, Harrogate, Newcastle, Durham, and Edinburgh...wherever we fancy. Talk about "You can take the wo/man out of London..."! We would be exactly the same as you two regarding the cost of entry = its extortionate! But it's all about tourism, which I get. But still very pricey. Sure you two would have spent a day walking around Lincoln...huffing and puffing your way up gorgeous Steep Hill (or was that just me?!), that looks pretty similar to The Shambles, all the way up to the beautiful Cathedral & Castle. Glad I managed to do a couple of visits to the Lincoln Christmas Market...First year was really cold and wintery, so very atmospheric. Sharon would have loved it! That 40s Festival (at Woodies??) sounds great. A good few years ago we went to Bournemouth for the weekend to catch a gig. Think it was around a May Bank Hol as it just so happened that it coincided with a Festival there...Festival of Speed or similar??? We love cars so it was the biggest, best bonus to see these wonderful vintage and prestige cards driving around the town/sea front, especially the old Mk1&2 Cortinas and Norton/Vincent/BSM motorbikes (he love the smell of the old oil/petrol, apparently). Beat part: it was all free!😂 *I gest: that dog is our life! It'll break our hearts the day he does actually leave us. Hes 7 now, but bet he'll end up being the oldest dog of his breed, knowing our luck😂dog 🐶❤

[@butlersempire]

Yes, we've visited Lincoln Christmas market a few times, up the hill is very historic as you said. We find it so much easier going on the train on our little visits and like staying in the Premier inn as well.

We love York spent many a weekend there before Martha was born , in fact I purchased my first Oakley sunglasses from York ( I now have a bit of a collection) and I think I spent my 30th birthday in York I definitely purchased my first expensive treat birthday watch about £200 it was a lot of money for me then. Great look around lovely super interesting buildings great vid as always 👍👍

[@craigbell2926]

martin and sharron you should come to co. durham and do beamish museum that will take you back its a lovely place and great all seasons round but spring and summer are especially great the history in on place is fantastic and i bet you come and say we had one of them in our house or i remeber those etc its well worth a visit but so is county durham its such a lovely place to have the privelage to live in

[@rbnhd1144]

Hello Martin and Sharon, that was another beauty, we really enjoyed it, York has so much to offer, its been years since we have been, it makes us want to go again. I love Sharon's resentment on Costa's price for a small cup of coffee, I'm with her, its coffee with yuppie pricing just like starbucks, You should look for Dunkin Donuts coffee, I really like it and its cheaper. I figured you might go with a second bacon cob on the train, Cant blame you, we would have too. The room looked nice as it usually does. It was so nice of you to give Macmaster a mention, We watch all of his episodes too, you should invite him over and take him to the Ragged Apron for you know what. Well thanks again we really enjoyed time with you as we always do, enjoy Benidorm, Happy Days as you say.
