Our Days Out in YORK - Family visit to York U.K. - Things to do in York
Hi everyone, today we have another video from our day out series. We recently visited York in North Yorkshire in the U.K.
Travelodge kindly provided us with a room to stay at their recently opening new hotel Travelodge Layerthorpe. The hotel was lovely and only a short walk to York's town centre and the kids loved the big beds in the family room we had. We also had the breakfast buffet provided by Travelodge as we needed lots of energy for all the places to visit in York.
The first thing we did was stop by the VisitYork Information centre. Here you can find maps, souvenirs and help to make your visit to York as fun and interesting as possible.
There is so much to do in York for adults, children and families so we decided to start with York Minster Cathedral, a huge Cathedral that you can explore.
We also visited York's Chocolate Story which is a guided tour of a chocolate factory where you can learn about the history of chocolate creation in York, learn about how they make chocolate and also have a go yourself!
We went to York's Designer Outlet where you can go shopping in the evening and also enjoy some food there.
On one of the days we visited Jorvik Dig, a fun place where you learn about Viking life through archeology and you have a chance to look at real Viking artefacts from hundreds of years ago and you can have a try yourself at unearthing items in Jorvik Dig's interactive areas they have created. There is also a nice 'Little Diggers' play area upstairs for the smaller ones who might not be ready to be an archaeologist.
If your legs get tired there is always the York Bus Tour which takes you all around the most interesting places and features of York's Centre. This was the first bus tour we have ever been on and it was great! The girl with all the information know her stuff and the kids loved it!
We managed to visit York's Castle Museum which is very close to Clifford'd Tower! York's Castle Museum is very interesting with lots to see and discover and when you get right to the end you can experience life in Victorian era York as there is a Victorian street that looks and feels very real. They have a great gift shop too so don't forget to have a look!
We would have liked to visit the Yorvik Viking Centre but we thought our little ones were a bit too small and it might have a been a bit frightening for them.
One of the places the kids had the most fun was the York Maze which is a little out of the centre but not very far. This place was huge and has lots of fun things for the children to do. We intended to pop by for an hour or so but stayed for 5 hours in the end!
Finally we stopped at the York Lavender fields on the way home and this was a very nice way to finish our trip. It was a nice day and the children loved exploring the fields of lavender. Lot of bees! But if you're nice to them they don't mind you being there.
Even though we had 3 days in York we still couldn't fit in everything we wanted to do so we will go back one day and fit in the rest!
Many thanks to the VisitYork Information Centre for the passes and Ben from York's Chocolate Story.
Thanks as well to Travelodge for the room at the lovely LayerThorpe Travelodge.

The River Ouse in Flood in York City Centre, North Yorkshire, UK - 28th September, 2012
Footage from the city of York, after the River Ouse burst its banks, flooding the surrounding land, including shops, homes, car parks, fields and pubs. This is one of the highest heights that the River Ouse has ever been to, and it occurred after several days of very heavy and persistent rain. The video begins at the flooded Wellington Row in front of Westgate Apartments and the Royal Mail depot, where the car park is under several feet of water, and some cars are partially submerged. Ducks and Geese occupy the shallows at the edge of the river, that is usually dry land. The top of a sunken barge and its TV aerial can be seen across the river. York Rowing Club is also featured and is flooded. From the Lendal Bridge, the views upstream towards the Railway Bridge show just how high the water is. Beneath the Lendal Bridge, the steps to the footpath beneath go straight into the floodwater, where a bicycle chained to a post becomes another flood victim. Across the Lendal Bridge, Dame Judi Dench Walk is completely submerged, and houses near the river are sandbagged.The other side of Lendal Bridge see's a partially destroyed pontoon, where the pleasure boats are usually moored. The views then are from the balcony next to the Pitcher and Piano pub both up and down the river. The next views are from the bottom of King Street near the heavily flooded King's Arms pub, after which views are from the Bridge overlooking the flooded King's Arms pub and surrounding flooded buildings. On the other side of the River, the height of the river can be seen against the Queen's Hotel and Queens Staith. The video ends along North Street and Wellington Row where it is evident that the flood barriers have worked well and protected the street and numerous properties.

York city centre, York, England, United Kingdom, Europe
York is a walled city, situated at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Foss in North Yorkshire, England. The city has a rich heritage and has provided the backdrop to major political events throughout much of its two millennia of existence. The city offers a wealth of historic attractions, of which York Minster is the most prominent, and a variety of cultural and sporting activities. The city was founded by the Romans in 71 AD, under the name of Eboracum. It became in turn the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior, and of the kingdoms of Northumbria and Jorvik. In the Middle Ages, York grew as a major wool trading centre and became the capital of the northern ecclesiastical province of the Church of England, a role it has retained. In the 19th century, York became a hub of the railway network and a confectionery manufacturing centre. In recent decades, the economy of York has moved from being dominated by its confectionery and railway-related industries to one that provides services. The University of York and health services have become major employers, whilst tourism has become an important element of the local economy. From 1996, the term City of York describes a unitary authority area which includes rural areas beyond the old city boundaries. In 2001 the urban area had a population of 137,505, while in 2010 the entire unitary authority had an estimated population of 202,400. The railway promoter George Hudson was responsible for bringing the railway to York in 1839. Although Hudson's career as a railway entrepreneur eventually ended in disgrace and bankruptcy, his promotion of his own railway company, the York and North Midland Railway and of York over Leeds, helped establish York as a major railway centre by the late 1800s. The introduction of the railways also established engineering in the city. At the turn of the 20th century, the railway accommodated the headquarters and works of the North Eastern Railway, which employed over 5,500 people in York. The railway was also instrumental in the expansion of Rowntree's Cocoa Works. Rowntree's was founded in York in 1862 by Henry Isaac Rowntree, who was joined in 1869 by his brother the philanthropist Joseph Rowntree. Another chocolate manufacturer, Terry's of York was also a major employer. By 1900 the railways and confectionery had become the two major industries of the city. With the emergence of tourism as a major industry, the historic core of York became one of the city's major assets, and in 1968 it was designated a conservation area. The existing tourist attractions were supplemented by the establishment of the National Railway Museum in York in 1975 and the Jorvik Viking Centre in 1984. The opening of the University of York in 1963 added to the prosperity of the city. York was voted as European Tourism City of the Year by European Cities Marketing in June 2007. York beat 130 other European cities to gain first place, surpassing Gothenburg in Sweden (second) and Valencia in Spain (third). York lies within the Vale of York, a flat area of fertile arable land bordered by the Pennines, the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Wolds The original city was built at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Foss on a terminal moraine left by the last Ice Age. During Roman times, the land surrounding the rivers Ouse and Foss was very marshy, making the site easier to defend. The city is prone to flooding from the River Ouse, and has an extensive (and mostly effective) network of flood defences. These include walls along the Ouse, and a liftable barrier across the River Foss where it joins the Ouse at the 'Blue Bridge'. In October and November 2000 York experienced the worst flooding in 375 years with over 300 homes being flooded. Much land in and around the city is on flood plains and has always been too flood-prone for development other than agriculture. The ings are flood meadows along the River Ouse, while the strays are open common grassland in various locations around the city. York Minster, the largest Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe, stands at the city's centre. York Castle, a complex of buildings ranging from the medieval Clifford's Tower to the 20th century entrance to the York Castle Museum (formerly a prison) has had a chequered history. York's centre is enclosed by the city's medieval walls, which are a popular walk. These defences are the most complete in England. They have the only walls set on high ramparts and they retain all their principal gateways. They incorporate part of the walls of the Roman fortress and some Norman and medieval work, as well as 19th- and 20th-century renovations.
The Antiques Centre York
York's largest Antiques Centre nestled in the historic and picturesque street of Stonegate, just a stones throw away from the Minster. With five showrooms spread over three floors and over 100 dealers from all over the country, we stock a hugely diverse range of antique and vintage items.
York. Medieval city centre | England #1
A visit to York. The first written attestation of a settlement at this location is from around the year 100 CE, but archaeological evidence proves that people have been living here much longer. This historic city in northern England has been known by many names over the years; as Eboracum by the Romans, Eoferwic by the Anglo-Saxons, and as Jorvik to the invading Norse. The city of York was important during the Middle Ages as an ecclesiastical and macro-regional centre. The many surviving medieval buildings and fortifications still attest this importance. Chief among the historic buildings are the York Minster, one of the largest medieval cathedrals in Europe, and the amazingly intact city walls.
