York is great, it packs a punch for a small city, roman, viking history, culture, my favourite is the national railway museum.
Absolutely love York. The atmosphere, the architecture, the history. Had some wonderful trips to York, so many wonderful memories.
Visit here over 10 years ago with wife and youngest son. Wife is from England. Remember some of places you show in your walk. Son and I did the ghost tour which of course included the Shambles. We also did the Viking center and York Dungeon. Hope to go back one day, two days was enough to see everything, thanks for the memories!
Words cannot describe what the minster imposes on the city. A fantastic dominance.
I don't think that I ever ever seen the streets so clean. It looks like the streets and pavements have been polished.
It must have been for your visit!
Nothing beats York. visiting York Minster, and shopping down the shambles! Who doesn't like York! Thanks Neil! :)
Loved the merchant s hall
I have been to York quite a few times and i absoultley love it .
A beautiful day in York, England
walking around and I like see the
shops and eateries and look at the
buildings Thank You for your videos.
🌅😎🌄
Nice camera work .
Love York. Thanks for doing this one. I’ve been many times and didn’t know about that shortcut. Going again next month will look out for it then.
My mom and I was on a tour of the UK in 2021 and stopped at the The Earl Grey tea rooms. It was an amazing experience for me.
York is certainly most beautiful. Hope to go back there in the future.
They are located near to save 😮😊
So glad you posted this!!! I am visiting York for the first time in September. Your walking videos really help me plan my vacations.
Me too! In September. Wishing us both a glorious time.
Next visit be sure to do the gardens outside the Yorkshire Museum and the Abbey ruins. Lendel Street Bridge is worth seeing also, with the railway museum and the train station nearby. Nice video!!!
Absolutely love York! Such a beautiful city 😁 They’re doing a Halloween market at the end of October which I’ll definitely be going to
Wonderful! Lovely city and historic town that I hope and pray will NOT become a pathetic 15 minute city.
Great city. The museums should not be missed - Castle Museum, Railway Museum, Jorvik Museum are the ones I know.
Where else would you like to see me film? Give me your ideas and suggestions..
I know it's only a little seaside place, but what about Arnside, in Lancashire.
I've often wondered what it looks like.
Porthcurno in Cornwall please. Can you pick me up on the way from Derbyshire and take me with you please? Haha! Thanks.
Nice video. The wife and I love York. Especially a handful of our favourite pubs 😂 There are so many streets for you to film. Are there any more York videos? You missed Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate at the end of The Shambles. The second best looking street in York is Stonegate
Glorious York
I spent a week in York, and tried to take in as many attractions as I could, and still missed some. You mentioned ghosts. I had at least three evening meals in the Golden Fleece. I didn't see any spirits, but met one of the ladies working there who had someone whispering in her ear when there was no one there.
I love that town, but I'm afraid I can't afford to go back again. It's a long way from western Canada.
Great to see you back x
When we went to the shambles missed some of the shops . Had to keep looking where I was going . So many people.
Great job tackling those crowds,my next favourite place after Scarborough,thanks for sharing.😍

Hi Neil. Welcome back. Lovely see you back. 🎉
Thanks Annette - have a top week
Am here in September for my birthday 🎉 can't wait
HAve a great time - it's lovely in York
What the best things to do first time for about 20years
Ok I need to know because I'm considering moving there: is it so crowded because of the King or is it always like this? This is busier than Oxford St. in London! Something I definitely won't miss when I move out.
A beautiful place, though, especially in this weather. Looks unreal.
It’s like this in holiday season and special weekends
We will take York back as one of our Viking Strongholds !
OMG was that Berwick Kaler walking down the shambles wearing a viking themed hat? if you don't know who he is , he is famous for being the dame in The York Theater Royal but he also has been in films and tv shows he was in A knights Tales with Heath Ledger (although there is a chance that it isn't him ) lol
You didn't mention the Cat Trail! All around York, there are cat statues to replicate the statues used in Medieval times to discourage rats running along butcher's hooks and contaminating the meat. Start with a leaflet from York Glass and the trail takes you all over the city-it took us 4-5 hrs to complete(including a few breaks for drinks and a look around Merchant Adventurers Hall)!
I am absolutely doing the Cat Trail on my next visit to York!! I have seen a few of the cats, but did not know until recently there is an organized trail.
hi would you be doing a walking tour from travelger square to convent gardens london ?
What time of day was your walk?
Can't remember this one
has it got diections to the shambles from the city center ?
York is beautiful, but Chillingbourne has got the edge.
Oooh not been there yet - going to check out Chillingbourne now
You missed something so exciting. At the beginning of the video. On this cafe lies a big Roman stone that you can see from under your feet as it's covered by glass! The first time I saw it feels magical
Ah no - I missed that. Will have to get that next time I film York!
The stone walls that you see surrounding the city centre of York are not roman they are medieval, the roman walls are mostly buried several metres below the earth.
My aunties lives un Yorkshire lol
a lot of the shops are closed down and bankrupt ?
No not at all!
i was there last week. about 40% are closed down and they have fake graphics in the windows. even in the shambles.@@GimbalWalkTV
@@buy.to.let.britain
I went in the last week or so too and didn't see any of that
even on your own video i can see closed shops ?😅@@GimbalWalkTV
I guessed York. 😂
Ah nice one!
What an annoying place. It's like a compacted Blackpool. Probably good when it's quiet. Just like Blackpool lol.
But Blackpool doesn’t have ancient church and beautiful ancient buildings !🙄🏴🌹
Cities don’t tend to be quiet 🤫
