The jewel in North Yorkshire’s crown, I think York is one of the best break destinations in England. It was Voted ‘Best UK City’ by the Telegraph’s travel section in 2008 and York is a favorite amongst even the most seasoned of travelers.
This ancient walled city has been the North’s spiritual capital for 2000 years, but that’s not say it is stuck in the past; York’s affluent young student population and its influx of tourist pounds has helped to create a cultural and commercial oasis. History seeps out of every cobbled street, but the crooked old buildings house a fantastic range of contemporary designer shops, cafes, restaurants and bars.
In this bustling city centre is the famous York Minster, the Shambles, boat trips on the River Ouse, The Jorvik Centre and lots of fantastic restaurants and bars.
And what’s more, it really is a year-round location. Summer days are spent lounging in one of the many gorgeous parks throughout the city and in the Winter York comes alive with shop windows sparkling in the dusky light
Parking for two/three cars is on site with additional street parking.
The building is listed and as such the staircase is original and although in good condition its banisters will not take the weight if subject to excessive force or climbed on.
