The City of York

Or in other words, my city! York is in northern England in the region of North Yorkshire. There seems to be a hate for the north of England by people in the south but I find both territories to be quite similar. York is one of the most charming, decent sized cities I've been to in England (and I've made it to quite a few now). It has streets and streets of cute and useful shops, wonderful people, amazing market, and plenty of historical landmarks. The city also has the most amount of pubs, bars, and clubs that I've ever seen in such a small radius. It's amazing and makes bar hopping very easy for us students!

Here's a few shots of downtown York!

And here is some of the more historical bits of York

The York Minister- outside and in

The Wall! Back in medieval times, York was a walled city and still partially is. Oh and there's me. You can see the York Minister in the background.

Clifford's Tower. I have yet to go inside but, I definitely will!

The Shambles - A street of very close together, old buildings and interesting shops.

So there you have it. There's your mini lesson on the City of York. There will be more to come as I further explore the area!
