This garden is incredibly peaceful and the perfect place to walk around ."

"The Georgian-style Mansion House in York is the home of the city's Lord Mayors during their term in office. This is the earliest purpose-built house of this sort still in use – it predates the Mansion House in London by at least 20 years. The foundation stone for the building was laid in 1725, and it was completed seven years later, in 1732."

"Located in the center of the city, the Mansion House is the official residence of the Lord Mayor of York. But along with being a home, this historic house is popular with visitors. The Mansion House exhibits an impressive collection of paintings, silver and furniture."

"The Wars of the Roses, the Plantagenets, and Richard III are events and characters embedded in the history of York, so what better place to get to grips with one of the main players than inside the city walls?. Located in Monk Bar gatehouse, where the top floor was commissioned by Richard himself, the Richard III Experience takes you on a journey through the king’s short-lived reign, including what life was like in York during the late 15th century, and a selection of changing exhibitions. While there, don’t miss the chance to walk around the city walls, arguably York’s greatest monument, and make for the sister Henry VII Experience at Micklegate Bar, easily reached in around route that even includes a few pubs along the way."

"The best-preserved of York's medieval city gates houses this museum which explores the life and reign of Richard III (r 1483–85) and his impact on York, and sets out the case of the 'Princes in the Tower',..."

"30/05/2021: I’m having difficulties deciding what was worse the food or the service I went to Regal cafe at 12.30pm hoping to get the breakfast which finishes at 1pm , my kids and I stood around for 10/15min being totally ignored before being seated, there wasn’t a queue, waiters just walked past and ignored me when I asked for a table. Finally when we were seated I tried placing my order straight away, I asked 4 different waiters who walked past that I’m ready to place my order each waiter said either 5min or 2 min, after 20min of being seated I asked the 5 time only to be told it’s 1.10pm and no longer taking breakfast orders !!!!!!!. Breakfast order finish at 1pmWe ordered lunch, samosa chart was not a samosa chart, it was cold samosa with last nights chickpea curry thrown on top, the masala fish stunk of mold, burgers were eatable !!!"
