Neil McAllister discovers the twists and turns hidden in the mediaeval city of York.
Within the ancient walls, York is ideal to explore on foot, small enough to amble around, but packed with interest, with many places to stay.
The Shambles is York’s most famous lane, where we find the Harry-Potter-themed Shop That Must Not Be Named.
We will also visit York’s Chocolate Story, a tempting attraction which explains the story of cocoa from its Mayan roots.
Other popular attractions on our itinerary are the JORVIK Viking Centre and the National Railway Museum, home to a vast array of locos, carriages and wagons from almost two centuries of rail travel.
