York

Driving from Durham to London, our first hosts recommended we stop in York along the way. And I'm glad they did! It's a lovely English town with a rich history, castle pieces and Roman influence scattered throughout. We wandered the streets for hours, crossing the river a couple of times. Bustling but not overrun with tourists, just enough to be pleasant company! We paid a meter to park in a lot near Clifford's tower, good location for a few hours. Parking was CRAZY tight, but it seems like the English are used to this. We had to do a quick 13-point back-in to the spot we found. Ridiculous. Anyhow, the town was lovely and great for a quick stop.Read more
