If you’re thinking about visiting York at any point in your life we will save you time and say don’t. If you like old historical cobbled streets, loads of pubs and places to eat then watch out as there are so many in York that you’ll have trouble picking. And, don’t get us started on scenic riverside views as the River Ouse runs right through the city centre offering up idyllic views that you’ll spend all your time snapping pictures of.
I suppose if that sounds like fun to you then I guess York is worth a visit, but don’t say we didn’t warn you!
1. Just disgusting, all those old ruins everywhere…
Everything in the city is old as owt. You’ll get board at looking at such stunning Gothic-inspired Architecture such as St Mary’s Abbey in the Museum Gardens.
2. Too many bloody waterside views
And, do get me started on the River Ouse. The majestic river runs through the centre of the city. And, you have to wal alongside it enjoy the picturesque views of the ancient bridges and wonderful buildings that sit overlooking it. You may even have to enjoy a beer in one of its riverside bars.
