Had a wonderful visit, my first, to York. Highly recommend exploring this place. Even the geese love walking about!

  1. It’s alright for a visit, but it’s no Leeds. I don’t think I’d want to live there.

    Edit: Downvote me all you want but it is expensive and swimming in tourists like me. The worst Leeds has is students and it is easy to live away from them.

  2. Anything you recommend doing in particular? Going for 2 nights in September and never been before

  3. Photos 2/3/4 are weirdly generic for an ā€œI love Yorkā€ post lol. Expected to see some city sights!

    But yes York is wonderful Iā€™ve been many times in my life and will go many more times.

  4. I not been to York for a few years, so many more cities, towns I would like to visit in the United Kingdom

  5. Lucky enough to live in York myself; nothing quite like mooching into town underneath a medieval castle gate (bar) – we even have a permit to park in Henry VIIIā€™s Manor House. The mad old bastard was forward thinking enough tarmac a car park around the back for easy venturing into town for shopping.

  6. York is host to a really good retro games shop as well (sore thumbs) which is absolutely crammed full of interesting stuff. I regret not buying more when I was there last time.

  7. Agreed! I live in Norwich and York is the only UK city Iā€™ve visited which has a similar vibe; Itā€™s got obvious history, is beautiful to look at, the centreā€™s not massively sprawling, thereā€™s a nice cultural buzz and it feels really safe and friendly (from what I experienced anyway).
