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.

York's elaborate network of snickleways (a Yorkshire term for a narrow alley) hides all manner of treats. Wander down Goodramgate and you might hear whoomping bass drifting out from one of them, in which case you've tracked down Earworm records. Purveyors of intriguing vinyl, you're just as likely to find contemporary electronic here as you are classic rock and pop. Dig the crates, then gloat over your purchases in the Snickleway pub next door.
