York

Many travel guides will tell you about York's little streets, and its tendency to have those streets invaded by Vikings, Romans and such. It’s all true. But nowadays it's what York's community does with those little streets that really sets it apart. You'll find a crowd of independent shops, cafes and galleries, plus layer after layer of ancient architecture jostling for position. Presiding over it all is the glorious York Minster, a sandstone leviathan with immense charisma that dominates the city centre and offers fresh, weird design delights with each repeat visit.

When York residents are squiring first time visitors around their home, City Screen is invariably on the schedule. The cinema is sort of York in microcosm, acting as a lively creative spot that hosts gigs, comedy nights and life drawing classes; a bar and restaurant serving unfussy, tasty food and local beers; and an intriguing architectural mish-mash with a top riverside location. Oh, and you can watch films too, both art house and blockbuster. They take movies the right kind of seriously here: variety, good sound, comfy seats and you can take a beer in with you.
