Mentioned by England 10 days itinerary
A 10 Day UK Trip Itinerary by Public Transport
"Small but perfectly formed, Clifford’s Tower offers, among other things, splendid views across the city and York Minster from its circular platform up high. It also tells an interesting tale, often referred to as York Castle, the site dates back to 1068 when William the Conqueror was busy trying to rid the north of Vikings and built a number of castles on his way. While many battles raged over the centuries (the murky Jewish massacre of 1190 cast a long shadow), York Castle’s role evolved, including stints as a prison and a royal mint."
"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."
"One of the best York photography spots is the Victorian street recreated in the York Castle Museum. Head there towards the end of the day, maybe 30-40 minutes before the closing time, so you can get the street empty and take some stunning photos there. York Castle Museum is one of my favourite Instagrammable spots in York."
"Lots of things to do, including learning about the history of the building, which was once a prison – hear what crimes some of its inmates had committed. The best part (in our opinion) is the recreated Victorian Street, Kirkgate – a cobbled street with traditional shops to visit. VISIT THEIR WEBSITE >>"
"Does a premier champagne weekend with resident DJ and fabulous meals set in an urban chic venue sound good to you?. If so, make your York nightlife venue of choice The Biltmore Bar & Grill. The Biltmore’s lively bar has a club vibe at weekends with great cocktails."
"Fancy Hanks is a new and welcome addition to York serving American deep South good mood food. They serve classics such as a Double Cheese Burger, Blackened Cajun Chicken as well as a Vegan Corn Burger. They also do some excellent buttermilk fried chicken!"
"O’Neill’s is a favourite destination for hen and stag do’s, and now they can be your favourite spot for bottomless brunch, too!. They have two boozy brunch options, so you can pick depending on how boozy you’re feeling. Their first option is only £12.50 per person, for which you get a breakfast item, two mini bottles of prosecco, and two cocktails or pints of draught beer – cheap, right?"
"It’s not a bottomless brunch – but you can get a (pretty cheap!) boozy O’Neill’s in York. “Kick start your day with our Boozy Brunch offer — it’s great for hen parties, stag do’s or just for when you fancy something a little different. Pick any breakfast item, 2x 200ml mini bottles of fizz, 2x cocktails or 2x pints of draught from £12.50."
"Banyan is a great place to go in York if you’re looking for a slightly more chilled vibe, but still with plenty of cocktails. I absolutely love the interior of Banyan and it’s a perfect place to go with friends, work colleagues or even just as a couple!. 3 Little Stonegate, York YO1 8AX"
"Described as the perfect place to relax, The Brunch Cafe boasts a selection of freshly ground Italian coffee and tasty bites. Situated near a number of large shopping outlets, The Brunch Cafe is ideally located. It offers visitors outdoor seating, making it the perfect place to sit back and enjoy the stunning views that York has to offer."
"As well as occupying what has to be one of the city's best locations, The Grand also offers tip-top service, a good choice of eating options, a spa and a pool. The colossus of a building was formerly the Edwardian headquarters of the wealthy North Eastern Railway Company and original features such as parquet flooring, hefty dark-wood doors and a sweeping stone staircase have been blended with a colour scheme of deep purple and charcoal greys plus swathes of velvet in chairs and sofas. Bedrooms are generous to a fault; even the entry-level Classics have space for a small party, and bathrooms feature baths as well as showers."
"Treat someone special in your life to a weekend at the Grand Hotel. Set within the city walls, it’s known for its luxury king-size beds, romantic spa, and intimate 1906 bar, complete with Moët & Chandon cocktails. For the ultimate gesture, book the Grandeur Package, which includes two nights in the penthouse suite with champagne, chocolate, afternoon tea, spa treatments, and three-course meals."
