I went to York at the beginning of last month with my other half.

We stayed in a placed called "Gregorys of York". It's a B&B, at the more expensive end of the scale, but the rooms are excellent and the food served up for breakfast is top notch. It's only a mile walk from the city centre too.

Whilst there we went to see the Railway Museum, The Yorvik Centre, York Minster (a must, especially if you're fit enough to climb the tower), York Castle Museum which has the Kirkgate Victorian street. We also walked along the old city walls.

There's loads of good places to eat as well. Top recommendation is Caesars situated on Goodramgate, which is just behind the Minster. Try going to Melton's as well.

Finally, if you've got the time, try and get on one of the Ghost Walks in the evening, but choose carefully - some are good with their presentation but others are a bit uncharasmatic.
