York Minster (the building in the backround) and seen through York
Originally uploaded by ecuk07.
We began Tuesday with a two hour train ride to York, with a visit to York Minster, a sightseeing tour, a lunch of Yorkshire pudding, and a visit to the York Castle Museum on the dockett. York has had a long and interesting history, beginning with the Roman conquering of the area and spanning to its modern day booming tourist industry. One of the main attractions that we saw when on the tour was the York Wall, built in order to protect York from invasions. York is littered with the remains of ancient architecture - ranging from rubble to monuments like York Minster and Clifford's Tower. It is a beautiful, friendly town - where the pairings of old and new aren't out of place and where there is more to visit than our time allowed.
