York is a lovely city full of historic houses, ancient streets, Roman heritage and presided over by the Gothic York Minster, a magnificent Cathedral a masterpiece of stone and stained glass. The central town is surrounded by a large Roman wall with various gates to enter. Its a pedestrianised area full of shops and places to eat and is full of history and english character. We drove through part of the Yorkshire Dales, a collection of hills, river valleys and some moorland areas in the high ground covered with wild Heather in full bloom. Knaresborough, Pateley Bridge (oldest sweet shop in England), Harrogate, Ripon all very beautiful and sooo English!
