Food Scene

This is one of York’s oldest buildings. They have recently opened a coffee shop in there so you can see some of the interior for the price of a cup of coffee. The Hall is on Piccadilly but you can get to it through the entrance on Fossgate.

Parts date back to 1080 and it is possibly the oldest continuously occupied house in the United Kingdom. It has been the home of the Treasurer of York Minster but is now operated as a boutique hotel, restaurant and cafe. During the day, you can even enter from the walls through their gate. It is a wonderful experience.

The Gatehouse Coffee Shop is in Walmgate Bar, one of the entrances to the city, five minutes from Rowntree Wharf. It is a fascinating building, great coffee, great atmosphere, and you can sit on the roof or gateway. Lovely stop on a walk around the walls. They have lots of games to while away the hours.

Sightseeing

The Minster is the focal building of York and you can explore right from the foundations to the top of the tower if you wish. The East window has just been restored (a ten year project) and is a must-see.

Parks & Nature

It's a big park, with skateboard area, many children's activities, a large lake with geese and ducks, and a great cafe, the Reading Cafe which is part of the city libraries and you can sit and browse or actually borrow. It's alongside the Ouse and has a great riverside walkway as well as limited parking.

It's not quite a museum........... more like a theme park museum. It was re-opened in March 2017 with an amazing new 'ride' through the Viking world of York. Excellent visit and we recommend you book on line, so no queuing.

The ceramics are a total wow, there are significant exhibitions in the main space as well as the 'collection'. A great cafe and lovely piazza plus a new garden to the rear and a viewing balcony. Don't miss it. Very family oriented.

Shopping

If you need a dose of Harry Potter, this is for you. It is also in the Shambles, supposedly the inspiration for Diagon Alley. See for yourself. There were long queues at times but there are now two more Harry Potter shops almost opposite and next door.

Directly opposite the Harry Potter shop, this store introduces you to hundreds of different teas. You can also try a few samples. The staff are so knowledgeable and helpful. The teas make delightful gifts with lovely packaging.
