Choose Your Hotel: York City Breaks

Posted in Travel

York is an unbeatable UK city break destination.That far North you’ll never guarantee the weather but the city is the perfect cultural or romantic getaway.There’s too much to see in one day, so you’ll almost certainly need a couple of days and a hotel, York has plenty though.

The small and historical city is unrivalled in the UK. There are mazes of narrow, cobbled streets lined with small, independent shops as well as the nation’s big players. There’s also an array of riverside bars, cafes and restaurants from which you can take in the view of unrivalled architecture in the form of York Minster.

Great historical museums are par for the course in a city whose heritage is Roman, Viking and medieval all at once, so visit the Jorvik Viking Centre of the York Dungeon. The National Railway museum offers a more modern museum day out.

Away from the centre and your hotel, York is close to the dales and some stunning countryside. The gardens at nearby Harewood House are a must see for green fingered visitors.

Regardless of the season, there’s always something going on in the city. A vast array of exhibitions, shows and rallies visit the city. Well known examples are the historical festivals, the railway show and the regular markets.

When it comes to finding a hotel, York has great choice. Alwark Manor is a luxurious hotel York prides itself on. This is great choice because it has a golf course and spa to relax in after sight-seeing.
