Sights in Yorkshire
"Clifford’s Tower is one of York’s most iconic landmarks, and is largely all that remains of the eminent York Castle. Over its thousand year history, Clifford’s Tower has operated in a number of different functions, housing everything from kings to criminals, cannons to cows. Constructed by William the Conqueror in 1086, the first Clifford’s Tower was a wooden structure placed high on the motte that still stands today."
"Clifford’s Tower is another one of the cities most famous attractions. Whilst taking photos from outside of the tower is completely free of charge, ticket fees do apply if you wish to go inside. Once inside, you can check out some great views of York from the top."
"Merchant Adventurers’ Hall on Fossgate is one of the finest medieval guild halls in existence. A fascinating museum also available for weddings and events (great vintage fairs take place here), the venue’s centrepiece is the Great Hall where medieval merchants once gathered. A collection on display inside includes a range of fine silver, paintings and furniture."
"The Merchant Adventurers’ Hall is a museum, wedding and hospitality venue, regularly hosting vintage and wedding fairs. The museum hosts collections including silver, furniture and paintings and is open during the summer months. 721 metres from the Minster.Fossgate, York, North Yorkshire YO1 9XD, United Kingdom"
"The York Cold War Bunker has to be one of the city’s most captivating attractions. Tucked down a quiet residential cul-de-sac, you’ll find the inconspicuous entrance through an industrial-looking bomb-proof door. Go past the decontamination room, and down to the control centre, dormitory, and staff room where, for more than 30 years, this place hummed with activity, staffed by volunteers ready to map and manage the fallout from a nuclear blast."
"Experience life in a cold war bunker and discover the history of the volunteers who would have played a vital role in ensuring Britain could withstand a nuclear attack. Through a one hour guided tour, you’ll learn about this recent period in British history and how the people of York prepared for the threat of nuclear war."
"Rarely does one come across a church with so much personality. The 15th century building, hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the town, has a marvellous architectural design. The Goodramgatearea comprises of some of York’s oldest structures."
"They serve ramen with mushroom and kombu, spicy chilli beef and tonkotsu. Sando (Japanese hot sandwiches) with chicken, pork belly and tamago egg, bao buns, Robata (Japanese BBQ) and specials of the day,"
"Sushi are a slick chain sushi restaurant with dine in and takeaway options. You can choose from classic sushi dishes like a Dragon Roll, Dynamite Roll or Salmon Maki or Sashimi. You could also go for Takoyaki or a Yasai Roll."
"The website defaults to the menu in Japanese, which says to me that this restaurant is catering to the large number of Japanese visitors we receive. I’d say that it does not get more authentic than that!. If you want sushi like it’s served in Japan, then this looks ideal."
"If you’re looking for more bang for your buck, then All Bar One is the place to go, offering a whopping 2 hours of free-flowing drinks alongside one brunch dish for £30. Drinks include prosecco, Bloody Marys or mimosas, with classic dishes such as eggs benedict, florentine, avo on toast and sweet Belgian waffles. All Bar One is also a stone’s throw from the iconic Minster meaning you can take in the cobbled streets and old-worldly sights of York after your brunch."
"If you’re after a classy but relaxed vibe for your bottomless brunch in York, then All Bar One is a great choice for you. For £30 per person, you’ll get ninety minutes of bottomless prosecco, bloody Marys and mimosas as well as a mouth-watering brunch dish. Their menu is full of brunch classics, as well as some yummy lunch dishes like a beef burger and a BBQ chicken, bacon and cheese melt, so there’s a little something for everyone, no matter what mood you’re in!"
"Yuzu street food is served now at The Hilt (The axe throwing place in York). They serve Bao Buns with Tempura Prawn, Korean pulled pork and shredded beef bulgogi. Or you can choose Katsu curry, jumbo wings, or Gyoza."
"We’re regular orderers (if that’s a word) and it never fails to cheer us up (or fill us up!). There are plenty of veggie and vegan options, too. Order direct, through UBER, Deliveroo or Just Eat."
"A train station may seem like an unusual location to describe as ‘Instagrammable’ but York train station is far from ordinary. The beautiful building is home to some stunning pieces of architectural work, as well as modern film interest!. The bridge that connects the platforms at York train station is actually the one that Harry and Hagrid walk over in the first Harry Potter film!"
