Historical buildings and museums in York
"At one point the majestic centerpiece of York Castle, this historic keep has had a long and troubled life. Originally built to intimidate and subdue the Viking north by William the Conqueror, it has been twice burned to the ground in its lifespan. The other surviving fragments of the castle (such as the bailey wall and parts of the south gatehouse) blend seamlessly into the bustling city streets."
"Students can find it right between the Castle Museum and the Jorvik Viking Centre. Clifford’s Tower offers visitors stunning panoramic views over Old York, thus making it the ideal starting point for any visit to the city. There’s plenty to discover here, including the remains of York Castle built by William the Conqueror, a prison and a royal mint."
"The tower stands high next to York Castle Museum with views over York. Clifford's Tower was built at the Eye of York, a defensive position between the River Ouse and River Foss. Built in 1068 by William the Conqueror to control the North of England."
"What: We’re a big fan of puns here at SquareMeal, so Pride & Produce was practically guaranteed to make it into our list. We promise there’s more to this café and bar than just good wordplay though. Breakfast here is served daily until midday, with dishes to choose from including eggs benedict or apple and cranberry fruit toast slathered in butter.Where:33A Main Street, LS25 1DS"
"Pride and Produce is one of Garforth’s most popular eateries. You can take a seat in the spacious cafe or order to takeaway – either way, you’re spoilt for choice. Start the day with classics like a Full English, pancakes or eggs Benedict, alongside a cup of Yorkshire tea or North Star coffee."
"Lucia is tucked away in the cute little corner of Swinegate and reminds me somewhat of al fresco dining when you’re on holiday. While you naturally don’t have to sit outside, I would definitely recommend doing so in the summer when there’s an abundance of blankets, outdoor heaters and such a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy. I’d recommend: pork belly and chorizo sausage or the pollo pizza."
"Staff excellent and food very good , if not a little pricey. Was cheaper at The Ivy . COVID handles really well ."
"08/02/2021: Just wanted to say thank you for yet another perfect pizza!. We ordered two pizzas and two tiramisu (for takeaway of course) last Saturday. We didn't have to wait at all to collect and despite a short car journey and a quick warm-up in the oven once we got home the pizzas were absolutely delicious - just as good as they would've been straight out of the oven."
"Our Pizza Express Italian restaurants serve delicious, freshly made pizza, plus there’s a takeaway service so you can have our tasty pizza to go. 17 Museum St, York YO1 7DJT:01904 67290410 St Sampsons Square, York YO1 8RNT: 01904 630930"
"Shambles Market is a long-established outdoor city centre market open 7 days a week selling local produce, crafts & clothing, as well as serving up some impressive lunchtime street food. Enjoy a slice of authentic Italian homemade pizza from Pizzoli’s or pick out a tasty pastry from Café M and watch the world go by. If you’re on a health kick and need some fast healthy food, look no further, KERP serves up some of the freshest produce around."
"Next to The Shambles street, there is also The Shambles market. It’s full of local goods to take home and delicious treats to taste as well. The buildings that surround this market are pretty amazing and my favourite has to be Gert and Henry’s Pub (I know, another black and white timbered building, but they’re just so photogenic!)."
"It is a pleasant Sunday afternoon at Quirky Ales and Monkey is starting his afternoon off with a Hip Hop. Is that wise Monkey?"
"There is a nice bar cum function room with a stage and bar games before you go up to the tables. They have a good selection of drinks and friendly staff. Address : Roscoe Rooms, Roscoe St, Scarborough YO12 7BY, United Kingdom"
