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.

Blink and you'll miss the entrance to one of York's more eccentric watering holes, tucked above a bottle shop on Stonegate. It's worth propping your eyes open and finding it for so many reasons, be it the rabble of leering taxidermy animals (don't take your vegan friends) that greet you, the range of delicious and dangerous beers, or the hearty food. Get there early for an outrageously good pie / mash / pint combo, then fail to leave until the reason behind the name becomes clear.
