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.

This rather serious looking paper palace is located on the city's notorious Mickelgate, traditionally the place where Stags and Hens come in the evenings to kill their brain cells. During the day, however, you can add new ones here. It's a second-hand bookstore in the classic mould, all heaving shelves and strange leather bound tomes as well as more recent joys. Read up on 'The Horse: Its Treatment in Health and Disease' or a volume of Kierkegaard's 'The Concept of Dread'; the latter will steel you for the arrival of partygoers once the sun goes down.
