Home of the yummy-mummy, Carnaby Street, Pink Floyd, royalty and cocknies, Jack The Ripper, black cabs and "the knowledge", suffragettes, the Tower of London and the London Eye. This city has been the centre of, and influence on so much history and culture that it could never disappoint.
This is time travel to a charming England of my childhood imagination - pirate coves and smugglers, clusters of stone cottages around enchanting bays and windswept headlands. This is England as I have always pictured it.
From Neolithic megaliths to the elegant Georgian facades of Bath. 64 kilometres and three and a half millenia apart.
Overdose on Englishness in one handy location. York is surrounded by a robust stone wall intersected by fortified gates, dominated by the massive York Minster cathedral, home to the medieval Shambles, Tudor-fronted pubs and narrow streets of cobblestones. If i'd stayed any longer I may have developed an interest in cricket.
Moors, dales, wolds, the wide sand spits of Lindisfarne & rugged cliffs at Whitby and very pretty when the sun is out. And castles of course.
