  • On the drive back down from Northumberland we stopped by my favourite city in England, the medieval city of York. A city with such a rich history. Join me on a short tour to see the city decked out for Christmas.

    My wife and I are Americans who just returned two days ago from a three week visit to see our daughter who lives in London. We took an easy 2 hours train ride to York Dec. 17-19. It was FABULOUS! As the video states, York over flows with history. English history, Viking history, Roman history blended into a quaintly modern city And it’s very accessible. It is so easy to listen to tourism hype about a place only to be disappointed by any number of things. York is absolutely everything we had hoped for and more. English history, Viking history, Roman history in a quaintly modern city.
    The Christmas market was vibrant, diverse and filled with polite and happy shoppers. Wonderful and different foods, mulled wine The York Minster is breathtaking. It was so great to see so few chain restaurants and shops. Small pubs and shops with friendly and helpful shop keepers providing quality products dominate the scene. Accommodations are quite reasonable (compared to London). It was almost shocking to return to London, a crowded city of 9 million after such a lovely time in York (142,000). Cannot recommend highly enough. The video presents an accurate overview.

    I’m an American and I’ll never be able to get there, so thank you for taking us through this beautiful city. I love the shops! Yes, please do send out a more complete view of the city as you suggested. Also, The various views you give are lovely, as well as the very calm, relaxing, musical accompaniment. I know it’s a lot of work in editing. Thank you for that. If you can make them even a little longer, that would be wonderful.

    The first thing that I have to say is how relaxing it is to watch your videos . Your filming is always excellent and the music is never overpowering . Of course York is the star here . There is a lot of history and the different architecture to enjoy . And I would guess that being there for the Holidays makes it look even more grander .

    I live in York, I love taking friends on tours around the city - I was there yesterday (13/12/23) with a friend who was likewise passing through. It's lovely to see the city through the eyes of visitors and I always see or have pointed out to me things I've never seen.
    Next time you come you should walk the walls for some of the finest views of the medieval city - best section is from Bootham Bar to Monk Bar, but its all fascinating really.

    Another interesting town is Blandford Forum. It's on an old Roman road, and all around the area are tiny villages with old pubs.
    The river Stour runs through, and once you're off the road you can walk for miles along fields and hills from village to village, and cycle along the old railway track.
    If you like engineering, the railway at Shillingstone always looking for volunteers to
    repair the steam train and track.

I’m going to plan a trip back in spring or summer and do a full tour so I can share much more!! Gosh I wish they would.. I work with tourist boards as a photographer for a living so that would be an excellent addition having the government on board 😅 Hope you have an excellent week ahead! ❤️✨🎄

    What was the name of the shop where you got that massive sandwich?

    • @theslowtravelsfamily
      @theslowtravelsfamily  9 месяцев назад

      It’s called the Shambles Kitchen. It’s amazing!! www.shambleskitchen.co.uk It was started by a chap who went to uni in the states and thankfully learned some sandwich making skills to bring home to York with him, they’re sooo good 😍 he also owns the burrito place in the video too so which I also highly recommend.

    My wife and I visited York for the first time in September 2023. York was absolutely one of the best places we visited on our tour of the United Kingdom. On our first night in York we heard church bells peeling loudly. As we walked quickly towards the sound we discovered it was York Minster. It was an incredible experience.

    Thanks for this lovely video. I’m from the middle of the US and have spent over a month in York (during 5 trips to the UK)… we always returned to York since it was our favorite base for that area. It’s easy to take day trips to Castle Howard, the Dales, the Moors, Whitby, and Durham from a base in York. Sometimes we drove, sometimes we just hired a local taxi. The music you’ve used in this video suits York, especially at that time of day. New subscriber here, keep up the good work!

    • @DaveATKIN
      @DaveATKIN 9 месяцев назад +1

      As a 'Yorkie' I appreciate your comments - it's amazing even when you've lived here 20+ years as I have. Next time you visit I recommend a bus trip to Whitby - the Coastliner 840 claims to be one of the most scenic bus routes in Europe and it really is fabulous. It takes about 2½ hours but is well worth the trip. if you want a circular trip you can then take the coastal road bus to Scarborough and get the train back to York (also scenic).
      Coincidentally, I'm currently obsessed with a channel called Joe & Nic's Road Trip, which explores every state of the US. Fascinating!

    Your video is very nice, the city is charming to visit and enjoy history. Though I would never like to live there, especially in the historic centre, as it reminds of some dark sad pages of the past with its too narrow winding streets, too old buildings. Nevertheless, I admire the English for your ability to preserve history not in single buildings surrounded by modern ones, as it happens in some countries, but in whole cities. Actually, England is a living history. I wonder what places you prefer yourselves: historic or modern.
