Cultural Attractions in York
"Clifford’s Tower (also known as York Castle) has been at the heart of York for many centuries now. It’s endured a fair few battles and what remains of the fortified complex that once consisted of prisons, castles and law courts, is now a ruinous castle. You can climb to the top of the tower for a small fee, where you’ll see panoramic views of the Vale of York."
"You’ll have to pay an entrance price for York Castle, but the reward is the best view you’ll see of the city below. The tower itself is also pretty on the outside for a second bonus photo. View this post on Instagram"
"The striking contrast of Clifford’s Tower with the green bank of grass it sits on is a classic photo to snap of York!. Make the short (but steep) climb to the top and venture inside for a panorama of York."
"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"
"08/04/2021: A warm understated welcome greeted me from a kind lady who promptly served me a pizza and coffee for my walk home. Both were on point and with service like that I’ll be returning for ice cream and cake as I pass by, next time."
"Roberto Authentic Italian Gelato is an artisanal gelato offering freshly made gelato every day for you and your family. Also serving coffee, cakes, pastries and tasty pizzas. Open for take-away and deliveries everyday 10am-5pm."
"Choose from a variety of unusual flavours like Orange Blossom and Passion Fruit Cheesecake. Sit in or takeaway for a stroll along the city walls. Savoury treats also available."
"28/02/2021: I bought a triple chocolate brownie, which I can affirm as a local is the best brownie you'll get in any of Pickering's many teashops. And the roasted tomato soup (complete with basil oil and garlic crutons) was not only punching way above the averaage for takeaway soup - they'd also put real effort into not packaging it all up in a bunch of plastic, was all wood and cardboard.I'd have been happy to see them open whatever food they had come up with, but this was really, really good, high end and delicious, sold by jolly staff who were obviously taking considerable pride in their stuff."
"A classic bowling alley for the whole family, there are 28 lanes to choose from, as well as arcade games, laser quest and birthday party options. Visit the Tenpin York website"
"Located on Little Stonegate, this upscale dining and drinking destination imitates a classy New York-inspired cocktail bar. Their bottomless brunch allows guests to choose a dish of their choice including buttermilk pancakes with fried chicken, or Nutella and fresh strawberries, a breakfast hash of bacon, chorizo, sweet potato and eggs, or a Mexican wrap with falafel, roasted peppers, grilled corn and black beans. 90 minutes of unlimited alcohol accompany the brunch options, including Prosecco, Bloody Marys, Aperol Spritz or pints of Coors."
"Manahatta has not one, but two bottomless options, you lucky things!. They run a bottomless brunch for £29.95 per person, and it runs every day of the week. For that price, you get selected bottomless drinks for ninety minutes as well as a brunch dish, and you can upgrade to a bigger food menu for an extra £5 per person."
"If you’re looking for a proper nightclub where you can dance and rave all night long, then Kuda is the place to be. It has a sizeable dancefloor, DJ and even VIP party booths upstairs (this is where I had my surprise 18th birthday but I had horrific tonsillitis at the time!). 12 Clifford St, York YO1 9RD"
"Kuda nightclub is your one-stop-shop for anything and everything that is nightlife. This monster venue is one of the best nightclubs in York for the sheer diversity of music and atmospheres inside. Once you’re past the queues, explore 3 totally different rooms that will shape your night out."
"Just behind the North Bay is the fanciful Peasholm Park, designed in an Oriental style in 1912. At that time the park was Scarborough’s venue of choice for extravagant galas and exhibitions, but its glory faded as the century wore on. The park closed in 1999 after its pagoda was damaged by arson, but reopened in the 2000s and is now a treasured part of the resort."
"There is a miniature railway which will take you to Scalby Mills and back with a miniature steam train. A must visit when in Scarborough. Address : North Bay, Scarborough YO12 7TR, United Kingdom"
