York one of my favourite cities to visit in the United Kingdom, I remember going with school, to the Jorvik centre
Great place
Hi Neil, thanks for another great video. Originally from South Africa, we now live in the UK and we will be visiting York for the first time in May. It will be a dream come true for me as I have ALWAYS wanted to visit York. I might just follow your exact walking route. Thanks again and well done on your videos, I always enjoy watching them.
Thank you
I just know you will love it
There’s also the castle walls you can wander along too!
Don't just do York. Visit the Dales, Harrogate and Knaresborough too. Have a great time.
@@-DHR4870 Knaresborough is a stunning town!
A vary good & intresting video of YORK | The ULTIMATE tour of historic York, England✔✔👍👍
Thank you 🙏
York is one of my favourite cities!! What a fantastic video!!! There is a shopping street in Harry Potter called Diagon Alley which I believe was based on the Shambles, hence all the Harry Potter shops. 😊
Also you missed my favourite street - Whip Ma Whop Ma Gate!!! 😂
Will get it next time!
Lovely vídeo! I want Very much to have opportunity to know York! Iam Brazilian and i intend that in a litle time I Will travel I hope
York is the E=MC2,of English Cities... It's a very special place.Mowhere else like it.
Have you been in the museum by the courts, it's fabulous. We go everytime we're in York ❤
I haven’t - I really should give it a go
It's got many displays, right from victorian times ' and smells' to present day. Fabulous couple of hours in there, or more.
The Victorian street inside the museum is class 🏴 @@GimbalWalkTV
Heading back in May. Can't seem to keep away from the place 😊 Staying at the Hocus Pocus Tiny Hotel. Thanks for the tour
You're welcome - have a great time
Rowndtrees sweet factory used to be near the hospital
Ah I'd forgotten about Rowntrees!
Very famous business
Sorry Neil... I forgot to say how brilliant your video was and is. I live in York and have done so for over 5 years. Keep up the good work... Bernie.
Thanks so much Bernie I really do appreciate the kind words ❤️
I like York and I have been there in April 2009 and September 2011
In the shambles is a fudge shop you can see them making them.
Mmmmmm fudge!
The best video on York i've seen,but a bit disappointedyou did not show more of Jorvik Viking Centre.❤
Next time!
We live in Manchester uk so York is just over an hour away, we’ve been many times, each time we go we discover something new, we stay in a city centre hotel so we walk out of the door and everything is there ( I’m not too good on my feet these days) , if you’re a new visitor then it’s best to read up on the basic history, there’s too much amazing stuff there to describe but it’s absolutely the best city to visit on so many levels
Hi Neil, thank you very much for your great videos. We will travel to the north of England and Scotland in the autumn, with our motorhome. Your videos help us with the preparations and make us curious.

York is wonderful. Been there twice, but will return one day. It looks busy, but as you mentioned, it’s not. It’s usually crowded. I always try to film early in the day, less people, easier to film. But at the same time I get noticed easier while filming, when it’s less crowded 😂
ha ha yes there is that
I don't mind people noticing - I quite the looks they give the camera sometimes 🤣
@@GimbalWalkTV So true 😂 One man stopped me once and asked me what I was doing. I explained I recorded for RUclips and he replied that he had thought I was measuring the street 😂 I nice fellow, I thought it was funny 😀
@@Trond_travels 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You've excelled yourself here Neil. This video should win an award. For a lover of medieval architecture, York is Nirvana and the Minster is Gothic at its superb best. The Shambles can be too crowded and there's a lot of Harry Potter cobblers 😲. I love your videos of the coast but this is brilliant 👍❤️👏👏👏
Thanks so much
I really enjoyed filming this one!
Hello Neil how are you love your vidio of one of my favourite places York magic we were there last year best wishes take care stay safe xx ❤😅😅
Hey there
Thank you - hope you're having a lovely weekend
I'm hoping for better weather next week!
Visited York from the states back in 2012. Beautiful place indeed. Wish I was having a pint again right now at the last drop inn! Cheers
Thank you!
I agree a great tour of York always l wish you and your wonderfull family a grand day out in York always
Thank you 🙏
pretty far from Belgium but after Portsmouth and Rochester York will probally be my next destination thanks to you
Excellent video of beautiful York, a real gem of Yorkshire, lots to see & do, also the fabulous National Railway Museum! 🚂
Thanks so much
Beautiful video. Planning to visit next May.
You should!
We must have gone to York most weekends when we lived in Knaresborough. I'd recommend this as a must visit ahead of most other places in the UK....if you visit the UK and dont go to York, you've missed out.
As always... Fabulous,Old Son!👍
Many many thanks!
Enjoyed filming this one
To me,York is quite possibly,the only City that I visit,and never tire off it.Never.Maybe because I lived not too far away from it,and have always enjoyed it's enduring appeal,and beauty.It's very special.
@@I_hate_you_Butler Agree with that - there's always something new to find there on every visit too it seems
I spent a week there back in 2013. There's a lot to take in for sure. I spent most of one day in the railway museum, and had a few good meals in the Golden Fleece. Didn't see any ghosts though.
Brilliant video of my favourite city, you just about covered the lot, well done! 👍
Thanks so much!
Wonderful! Thank you.
Thank you 🙏
Your filming skills and equipment make this a very realistic visit. 👍 Some vids are so HD they dont look real. This was just right. ....and just as I was writing this your text with the equipment and "is it alright?" came up. Haha. Perfect.
There is a train visitor centre near the train station
Is that the railway museum?
@@GimbalWalkTV yes
Bein to York before it’s a lovely place
Agreed!
I live in Norwich and this is very similar!
I love Norwich - I loved filming there
Such a fine fine city
You should go to thirsk north Yorkshire England, it's where " James white " " James Harriet " started, you can go to the house/ vets, thirsk has a racecourse.
Sutton bank just outside thirsk, it has a walk part of the " Cleveland way "
Sutton bank has a gliding club ,the views are lovely
Stay Tuned - Thirsk is coming this week
Just outside of thirsk, passed the racecourse, at the roundabout to " Topcliffe " is a pub that is haunted, several paranormal teams have been, it was used to hang people.
Ian botham cricket player lived at topcliffe, he had a helicopter
@@heathermurray9939 Oh crikey!
That would scare me to death!
Really looking forward to seeing a walk through Thirsk . I lived near there and worked at a dental office in Thirsk many years ago . I shall look forward to a trip down memory lane !
York Minster cathedral North Yorkshire has mouse carved on one side of things from Kilburn north Yorkshire for years.
You can climb up to the roof.
I wonder how many steps that would be
@@GimbalWalkTV not sure but the stone steps are narrow so if someone is coming down or up you have to try & stand a side
Both my sons live there, costs me a fortune a night out
I bet!
My auntie used to be a nun at York convent school until it was sold, they then did not have to wear their habits anymore, she left & got married in her late 50s, she was a maths teacher
Americans be like "so this is Old York"
So many Americans visit York - you can hear their accents all round the city
Parts of York flood regularly,
Sad when it does - costs so much to put it right
That video image you have up isnt York, looks like Bristol lol
Oh crikey - I think you're right!
ha ha amazing - I'll change it
Where's the Warwick castle video?
It’s coming - I’m just editing it
Should be next few days hopefully
Yorkshire Pudding
Can't beat it!
Noy a fact!
The Minster's West Windpw isn't the size of a tennis court. The Great East Window is.
Ah my error
Apologies
You missed the Museum Gardens & St Mary's Abbey, the City Walls & Bars, the Roman Bath, Coney Street, The National Railway Museum, & wasted a lot of time covering the same ground several times, & there was pointless camera shots in poor streets, for instance in Parliament Square, while you missed out the Mansion House in St Helen's. You could have pointed out Christchurch, it's openwork Lantern Tower used to be lit to guide travellers into the City in Medieval days, & shown that the Castle Museum buildings are old prisons that stand inside the old Castle walls, the remnants of which lie behind them by the Foss.
I'm sorry to sound like I'm complaining, but it is just to suggest how your work could be even better, while appreciating it is already very good.
Thank you 🙏
Daniel, you should be a tour guide of York😂 your knowledge is impeccable all the best from Teesside 🏴
I went to York a few years ago with the children.
I wanted to take a nice photograph of the Clifford Tower in the background with the kids in the foreground. So i stood on the third step of the York courts ....
The security guard came out and stated that I wasn't supposed to be stood there. I said it is publicly accessible I am not taking a photograph of your precious building
I am only taking one of the children with the Clifford Tower in the background I said you have only came out because you are bored s***less and processed to stand on the pavement ( sidewalk) to take the picture 📸 I am not argumentative ,
I said to the security guard , but this is " YORK . and I am in public. lol 😂 i felt like
A B " auditing Britain, lol 🏴
They do ghost tours.
I'd be too scared to go on one ha ha
It amazes me how Harry Potter gets such a huge mention on U tube... Yet Saint Margaret Clitheroe lived here on the shambles. She was executed here in York.. Her crime... She shielded catholic priests. At the time of her execution it is believed that she was pregnant the executioner refused to carry out the task of putting her to death on Ouse Bridge on Lady Day 1586 instead the powers that be paid vagabonds to carry out the grisly task.she was put to death by weights been put on her body. Yes they even used her own door on which she was to lay. She was pregnant with her 4th child... They killed them both. Her withered arm a Catholic relic stands to this day at the Bar Convent on Blossom Street in York. May God Bless her & keep her.... R. I. P St Margaret et Clitheroe...
Well said
I would love to include things like that but don’t have enough time to do so using just text on screen
Maybe if I ever speak on the odd video I might do a York history one
I've said quite recently..."It's the Mona Lisa,The E=MC2' of English Cities!",Old Son😊😂😊
🤣👍🏻
Old Son! just a suggestion... next time that you film York.How about incorporating some of the other City centre streets,that others may have not come across, as they are an intrisic part of the centre centre...Grape Lane, Finkle Street,Swinegate,Colliergate,and Musuem gardens.These are just as nice to walk down and through,and enjoy as many other parts of York.Finally...The River Cruise boats. If you get a 24 pack of Newcastle Brown Ale,and some chips.You then 'Hi-jack' the boat,and thrash it up and down the River Ouse,and capsize it,then swim to shore,and run off laughing,with a can of Newcastle Brown, and some soggy chips!!!😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 MAGNIFICENT, Old Son! LEGENDARY!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣You could even get a BAFTA,Old Son!🤣🤣🤣
ha ha - thank you my friend!
