York: Impressive Cathedral City with famous streets such as The Shambles and a city wall to walk around.
Enjoy a day out to the beautiful Cathedral city of York - Yorks backdrop of cobbled lanes, winding Snickelways and even a shopping street that dates back to the Domesday Book, mean this compact city is packed with lots to see.
Check out the impressive 2,000-year-old gothic halls of its cathedral, or the ridiculously pretty 13th-century timbered streets of the Shambles.
Shambles is one of York's most famous landmarks and one of the best-preserved medieval shopping streets in Europe. With its cobbled streets and overhanging buildings, it is believed to have been the inspiration behind Diagon Alley from the movie adaptation of the Harry Potter series. Although none of the original shop-fronts have survived from medieval times, some properties still have exterior wooden shelves, reminders of when cuts of meat were served from the open windows. The street was made narrow by design to keep the meat out of direct sunlight, but you can readily imagine the Shambles packed with people and awash with offal and discarded bones.
Today, the beautiful old buildings have been restored and now house cheerful cafés, quirky boutiques and even a coin & stamp dealer and the smells are rather more pleasant with aromas from the chocolate, fudge and sweet shops, clothes and accessories and gift shops.
Maybe visit the Jorvik viking centre or the railway museum while you are there.
