York

But I didn’t see the cathedral! I really want to come again some time.

I’m putting this on the shelf for the moment, to make place for other places =)

I traveled here for a work conference. It is a beautiful city. It is a nice train trip from London and it was great to get out of the crazy big city. The York Minster is enormous and amazing. The city center is quaint and charming.

Wander through The Shambles, stroll along the medieval city walls and visit York Minster, the second largest Gothic cathedral in Europe. And when you get tired, enjoy some tea and cake at the York branch of Bettys Cafe Tea Rooms.

York was the second city of England in medieval times and it could be regarded as Capital of the North until the industrial revolution. In terms of places worth seeing, it should still be regarded as Capital of the North!
