During half term, Rory and I went to York. We have been to York before (nearly 7 years ago) but we loved it so we decided to go again. There were a few attractions that we wanted to visit that we didn't see last time like The York Castle Museum and York Dungeon. Unfortunately, York Dungeon was still closed because of the recent floodings.
We booked to stay in Hotel Ibis which was a five minute walk from Micklegate which is a famous medieval gateway into York. We were really happy with the hotel. The reception and lounge area were lovely and there was even a pool table for guests. Our room was basic but we only used it as a base to sleep. It was clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely return in the future.
We visited York Minster on our last visit but I couldn't resist taking photos of the stunning architecture. The amount of detail on the building is amazing and it truly is a work of art. Spring had sprung early and I loved looking at the daffodils, snowdrops and crocuses on our walks around York. A highlight for me was visiting The Fudge Kitchen and watching them make Strawberries and Cream fudge. Obviously, I purchased some to take home! It was delicious!
We were really lucky with the weather while we were there. The sun was shining and we had gorgeous blue skies but it was freezing! I ended up buying a hat and gloves while we were there! We didn't see any rain until the day we were going home. I would definitely recommend York if you haven't been before. It is a stunning historic city with lots to do.
Have you been to York before?
