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 the sun comes out in York its parks soon fill up with visitors. One of York's lesser known but stunning old buildings to visit is the Treasurer's House and its beautiful walled garden. It's a delightful hidden gem, tucked away just within the grounds of York Minster. The house, which is run by The National Trust has a small entrance fee but admission to the garden is completely free. It is a lovely quiet place to relax and soak in the historical surroundings, just don't tell too many people!
