Day 3 – York
We catch the train to York for a fascinating guided tour of its
ancient sights, including the 12th-century Gothic Minster and the
medieval Shambles, all decked out in festive fairy lights. The rest
of your day is free and you might like to visit the city's quaint
Christmas market, which offers a delightful assortment of gifts,
crafts, local farm produce and continental foods. Stroll through
Parliament Square, lined with charming wooden stalls, and take in
the warming scent of mulled wine and bratwurst as you indulge in a
spot of Christmas shopping. Alternatively, you could visit one of
the city's renowned museums, such as Jorvik, which gives in-depth
insight into York's Viking past, or the National Railway
Museum.
