Two days in York – 26/27 June – day one

Posted bykimandsallyPosted inUncategorized

While staying at our house sit, we decided to have a couple of day trips to York. This is a beautiful old town, one of our favourites! We particularly enjoyed walking through’The Shambles’, a very quaint street filled with unique shops set in old buildings.

The Shambles Sweet Shop
Visited this amazing fudge shop where they made their products on the premises. Of course we had to buy some!
The Fudgemaker – or Fudgeatier? What do you call a maker of fudge?
Magic shop
York Minster

Following this we had a look at York Minster – this included walking to the top of the tower – 275 steps!

And now for some history….

After a late lunch we walked around the old city walls before hopping on a train back home.
