I live in York I love this video it's great my home city is a beauty 😍
It really is a beauty! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video - thank you for watching and leaving us a comment! 😊
Hi. I'm planing to join York University. I just wanted to know how are the part time jobs for international students?
@@sanjaykrishna2490 York is really good with students wanting jobs if you go on indeed theres loads going for just students
Thanks. That helped me :)
I know right I've been. it's about 45ish minutes away from where I live. my favourite time of year is when the river floods its really pretty from the bridge near clifforts tower
I visited York on Saturday with a friend and it was brilliant! Your video gave me lots of ideas and helped me and my friend prepare our trip. I was in awe most of the time, as there was so much to see and in such a small area. It's a wonderful city with lovely people. I highly recommend a visit. Two or three days is enough to enjoy most of the sights, but it is possible to cram in lots in one day too. One can see lots of things for free so it doesn’t have to be an expensive trip. Parking was £16 as we stayed for more than 5 hours. Our (free) visit to the York Art Gallery was our highlight. Thank you for sharing your tour.
Thanks for sharing your trip, I'm glad you had a nice time 🙂 There really is so much to do given the size, we've been many times and still not done it all! Agree that 2 or 3 days would be a good amount of time for a visit
I loved that museum when I was a kid!!! The smells and sights. I can't wait to go back.
Tbh I still enjoyed it even as an adult 😀
Thanks to this video, York, specifically is now higher on my bucket list than before.
Thanks good to hear 😊 Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
Makes me want to go back for the cat trail! 🐈👍
😻
I just move to live in York and Im happy to be here
from thailand
It seems like it would be a really great place to live. Glad to hear you are happy there!
9:48 For someone who isn’t particularly interested in trains, THANK YOU for using the correct terminology! You quite clearly actually paid attention and did your research before talking about it. It is so infuriating to me the amount of people who call locomotives “trains” and whatnot.
Thank you, I do try my best with the research 😊 And thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to comment - it's much appreciated!
Well done! 👏🏼
Thanks! 😀
Ahhh. So nice to see my home town on RUclips
It's a fantastic city! Thank you for watching 🙂
Just found your channel and I had to subscribe immediately! Your video is very informative, visually pleasing and I enjoy your narration too. I will be in York this fall for the first time, and having already watched multiple vlogs about York, I feel like you have the most thorough and helpful video that I have seen. I hope you continue posting content, and am going to look at the previous videos on your channel.
Thank you, and welcome! 👋 I'm glad you liked the video. Hope you have a great time in York!
My city! Happy new year!
And what a great city it is! Happy new year to you too
I want to travel here 💜
@AngloGirl85UK I live in York and I think I know what he means and Im sure you do too. You're probably being sarcastic or racist. At least someone like him knows how to embrace different cultures and promote them in a positive way, unlike you who sounds very insecure.
I love York,
Probably the best place left in England ❤️
That was brilliant. I love York. Thanks so much.
So do we! Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 😃
I’ve been there so many times I recognise every sight that are in this video
You must have been a lot 😄 York is one of those places that we love revisiting too!
Those little cat statues on the streets intrigued me the most.
Pretty cool, right? 🙂👍
I watched this video prior to my visit to York. I have not long got back and wanted to say thank you, it honestly helped.
That's so great to hear, thanks for letting us know! 😊 I hope you had a good trip?

Thank you for the lovely video👍, York is a beautiful and vibrant city. We visited last summer had a walk on the city walls...great memories 😀
Walking the city walls is a must whenever we go. Thanks for watching the video! Glad to hear you had a nice visit to York 🙂
I visited York about 5 times in the 1970's and always stayed in the Coach House Hotel. I hope to go back there one time.
I hope you are able to return soon 🙂
Love this xxx
Thank you! 😊
Excellent video and very informative. Thanks.
Thank you, I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching 🙂

Walking the walls is one of my favourite things to do in York 🙂
I love York ❤❤❤❤ I go there several times a year 🙂 thank you for sharing
So do we - lovely city to visit! Thanks for watching 😊
That’s g8 to know that 💜💜💜
Thanks a lot for the video. It is really great! I was there in 1999. And I want to visit it again.
Thanks very much, I appreciate that! It's definitely been long enough for a return trip, I hope you are able to go back 🙂
Estive nessa cidade 2x no ano passado em uma viagem para Inglaterra 🇬🇧😍❤
Hope you had a great time!
After watching this video i assumed you would have at least half a million subs. I am off to York tomorrow and now i know what i will be doing
Wow, thanks very much! Not quite half a million subs, but only 498,595 left to go 😄 Thanks for watching and I hope you have a fantastic day in York tomorrow
Ohhh wow how cool does York look!! I’m so gutted I didn’t get to go there!! I would defiantly be In That wizards shop!! So many yummy places that burger looked so good!! What a great place!! That’s church is stunning!! So many thing to do!! A fantastic video with in depth info!! :)
The wizard shop is Harry Potter and there's I think 3 or 4 of them on the Shambles! I guess there are so many of them because The Shambles was rumoured to be the inspiration for Diagon Ally (I can see why from looking at the street), but as far as I know it was just a rumour and isn't actually true! 😂
I love York too! I am actually from York myself and am very proud :) I would recommend the sweet shop on the shambles! 🍬
@@kristineprocter1773 Thanks for your recommendation! We visit York regularly (in normal times anyway, not right now of course!) so will have to try it on a future trip :)
Woah I live there
Albeit I'm a Scotsman, I must admit that York is truly beautiful.
It really is!
I need to go to that loco museum, still on the list
I hope you enjoy it when you are able to go 😊 Thanks for watching!
@@OurTravelPlace I will lol, thanks
Another awesome video 💯
Little Italy is a superb Italian restaurant in the middle of York and worth a visit when in the area
Thanks for the recommendation. I've just googled them and the food looks delicious! 🙂
I loved York Minster and the Merchant Adventurers Hall. Love Architecture from those centuries.
The architecture is amazing! Great suggestion of Merchant Adventurer's Hall, thank you
Amazing England! Happy 2021! Wohoo! Have a great adventure ahead!
Great travel guide, looks like a lovely place to visit. :)
So joyful.. i wish to visit here in future..

Okay you convinced me.
Thank you for this video from New Zealand we have been to York but only spent one day visiting, not long enough
And there is even more than we included in this video, you could easily fill a few days in York! It is a great day trip choice though. Thanks for watching Terry 🙂
@@OurTravelPlace next we are in the UK we hope to spend more time in York

Absolutely! York is a beautiful city with a rich history and plenty of things to explore.

Great city guide! Walking around the wall looks like a great activity and we like the quirkiness of the cat trail 😸
Thank you! Yes, the cat trail is a fun one and walking the walls is my favourite - a must do every time we visit, even if it's just walking a section of the wall! Thanks for watching 😊
Super nice! Really! What an amazing trip! : )
Thanks for watching!
Wow such a great and informative video!! That pulled pork sandwich looked amazing 😍
Thank you! Yep, their pulled pork sandwiches are so good 🙂 Thanks for watching!

York is awesome,thankyou :)
It really is, we love it! Thank you for watching 🙂
It helped me a LOT for my Presentation abaout York. Thanks
Excellent, glad we could help! Good luck with your presentation :)
York is fascinating! Thanks for your recommendations on the pubs.. we’ve been to a few of them but have noted down some new ones 😉🍹😋 Well put together video guys! Happy new year both .. Michelle and Andy 🚐😃
oo which ones are new for you? Any pub recommendations you have for us are welcome too for our future trips. We've tried a fair few over the years but there's still plenty left for us to try! 😂 Happy new year guys
@ukyorkie1 oh yes, we have heard that! That would be one interesting year!
i live in york
This was a wonderful video! Great capture of the city. Ben’s been before but I still haven’t gotten there yet. I just want to eat all the Yorkshire puddings there 😋 you did a nice job of capturing the history, culture, and architecture there in addition to the delicious food!
Thank you! You should have the Yorkshire pudding wrap if you do ever get to visit then 🙂
@@OurTravelPlace I will absolutely keep that in mind :) thanks!
Thanks for your videos
Thanks for watching! 😀
Wow you weren't kidding about there being a lot to do in York! I absolutely love the medieval streets. 365 pubs sounds amazing and quite dangerous at the same time 😅. We can't wait to visit this beautiful city someday!
There's even more to do than we included in this video - we have narrowed it down! Ha yes, I can't imagine trying to get around all those pubs 😂 Thanks for watching!
Amazing video
York is amazing city
Thank you, and yes, it is an amazing city! Thanks for watching :)
such a beautiful place 👍🏼
It certainly is!
Brilliant video!
Planning to visit fir my 30th in september and I was going to miss the train museum but actually it sounds kinda fun now lol
Excellent, I hope you have a fantastic 30th birthday!
What a lovely day. My good friend is from there. I have always wanted to visit with her.
You had us at sweet tooth! Lol 😂 But in all honesty, York looks absolutely stunning! Everyday we want to visit England more and more!
Do it! (and when you do, add Yorkshire to your list of places! 😄). Thanks for watching 🙂
Great❤
Hi friends. This is awesome to see. We had a UK trip planned before all the COVID fun began. That trip has been put off several times. Hopefully we will get to come across the pond and see some of these cool sights. We have some videos you would enjoy. Come check them out when you get a chance.
I hope you get to go 💜💜💜💜
@@29DPT We hope so, too. We have really been looking forward to getting over there. You are a rock star!
Ohhhhh the food in the intro looked incredible :D York and Chester are quite similar I think. I love having a little walk on the walls. You have shown York in a lovely light. Will defo be taking a trip here ... When we can!
Yeah we've been to Chester too, it's also a lovely small city. There definitely are similarities between the two. Thanks for watching!
I would absolutely love to visit York!! I have always heard of the York Minster and I would for sure pay the admission to go inside of that beauty! I can't say I am shocked about the amount of bars and pubs but that is really impressive that you could go to a different one everyday for a year without visiting one twice 😮Awesome video you guys! I'll have to refer to this video when we visit because it's packed with loads of awesome information! 👍
Glad you found it helpful! It's definitely worth the admission into the Minster, and I realise I forgot to mention that once you pay for your ticket you can use it to re-enter as many times as you like for the next 12 months (which I appreciate is more useful for us who are relatively local!). Thanks for watching
Thanks for the Tips, awesome video. Hope you are doing fine :)
This is a fantastic guide! Love the architecture in York, good to hear about the candy shops! I have never heard about the haunted side of York, now I am extra interested to come visit when life is back to normal! :)
Glad you enjoyed the guide, hopefully it won't be too much longer until you can visit! Thanks for watching
Oh my city!
It's a great city!
Hey guys. i absolutely loved watching this video, We are a South Africa couple but my mom was born is England and more specifically in York. It was so lovely to see where my mom is from. We unfortunately havent been able to get over to the UK yet but this made us really want to come asap. Will defs keep your video in mind for when we do go :) thank you for an exceptional video. We loved it
I'm glad we were able to show you where your mum is from - it's a really fun, beautiful city - and I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
Thanks for all the detail here. I especially loved the bit about the cat sculptures (cat lover). I think that'd be a great way to do a foot tour - not sure about anyone else but for me it'd stop me from getting TOO overwhelmed by all the history (I tend to get a bit bogged down in learning sometimes)
Yes I see what you mean about the cat trail being good as a walking route around f the city if you aren't wanting all the extra information you would get as part of a walking tour 🙂 I hope you enjoy looking for the cats! Thanks for watching
@@OurTravelPlace one day!
From a fellow cat lover in York, we now have our own cat cafe, too! The Cat's Whiskers does require paid booking and no children under 10 are allowed, but I have been there a few times and it's lovely! :)
The shambles bett,s high tea walk around the city walls lots to do and do not miss york minister ❤
Yes, loads to do, we love York! Agree on York Minster. We visited York many times before actually going inside the minster properly (instead of just poking our heads in the door) and it was totally worth it 🙂
wow very very nice, great guide, wonderful places to visit. i may be not to go to haunted york hahaha.
Love York❤️️
Us too! ❤
You have so lovely voice and an accent 😍
Aw thank you, what a nice comment 🙂
I live here ❤
It seems like it would be a fantastic city to live in! 😊
woow england so beautiful my friend greetings from indonesia
Go to Robin Hood’s Bay on the coast. It is about one hour from York by car.
Great suggestion, Robin Hood's bay is lovely! We do have a video from there on our channel already 🙂
