| York was our favorite city on the entire trip. It is a very picturesque town with a large variety of activities for all ages. York has Roman and medieval ruins and York Minster cathedral which was built between 1220 and 1472. You can walk on the medieval walls that surround the city center. York also houses Britain's National Railway Museum which is the largest railway museum in the world (some of us visited it twice). We were fortunate to meet up with some British friends from Holland, the Bartons, who were visiting relatives in York. We also made some new friends, the Barch's, Americans who were visiting from Vietnam. We stayed in a nice Bed and Breakfast, The Sycamore, that overlooked a traditional British lawn bowling club. |
