Day 23 – York 01 October 2013

Overcast with a cool wind greats us as we step from the hotel and head off. Up the hill from the hotel we find a place to climb onto the top of the wall. The view is impressive and we walk around the wall on our way into town. Walking off the wall we arrive at the river, people are rowing as we cross the bridge on the way to the minster.

Work is continuing on the restoration work with a completion date of 2016 it will be impressive with the amount of new stone, a team of 50 are doing the work. We pop inside for a quick look before heading for a coffee.

The rest of the day is spent exploring the shops, so many interesting shops and market stalls to see.

Tomorrow is back in the car and off to Newcastle.
