York - the Shambles

Whoever it is that asks me where they should visit in the UK, my answer always includes York. Taking about two hours by train from London, I bet you will see, just within a day, how this medieval city has cast a spell over me (and you too by the end of the day). My first visit to York was in June 2012 with my uni friends. I had so many sweet memories then that I had to take my mum to share them with her during her visit in April 2016. As the city has managed to keep its medieval look superbly, the four-year gap seemed non-existent: it stayed as pretty as it always has been. Among a countless number of things to do, here are my Must-Do’s in York. They are all possible on foot! The Shambles: the Medieval Street…just like a Film Set!
