We can enjoy a half-day excursion to York, where the iconic York Minster boasts world-famous stained-glass windows and status as the largest Gothic cathedral in northern Europe. Other highlights include the narrow, cobbled streets of the ‘Shambles’, where the buildings date back to medieval times, the National Railway Museum, the Jorvik Centre which tells the story of York’s Viking heritage and the ancient walls surrounding the city. No trip to York is complete without a visit to the famous Betty’s tea rooms too!
