A trip back in time around York
By Darren Cronian on Sunday, February 18th, 2007

Yesterday was my birthday, and my 10 year old nephew and I took a trip to the city of York in North Yorkshire – a great time was had, with loads of walking, especially crawling up 275 steps up the narrow corridor up to the top of the York Minster tower. Actually, we spent a good 2 1/2 hours walking around the Minster, including an audio tour around the undercroft, treasury and crypt.

We took a ride on the open top bus tour which goes around the city walls, and I was very pleased to witness a bus driver that was pleasant, helpful and very friendly. I got talking to two American girls on the bus, who informed me that Yorkshire folk are much more friendlier than them Londoners hehe

You can view a small section of my photographs here – more will be added when I get back from my trip to Oslo, which is fast approaching, which reminds me I need to check if Ryanair have taken the extra air passenger duty off my debit card without my permission.

Lovely pictures Darren.

I think we are going to take a trip to York sometime as it looks a very nice city.

Debbie, it is well worth the day out, but depending where you are, I’d recommend staying over night as there is so much to see in York. It’s very popular with American tourists, so it might be worth a visit during the week, as the weekend its crammed full of people.

Dazza just thought Id let you know that we are going to York this weekend after reading your blog. Booked a hotel near Micklegate, is this a good location?
