I think York's railway station is one of my favorites. I felt like this was yet again one of those places where I found myself stuck in time because of the whole structure and the color of the place.
York Railway Museum
Just a few blocks away from the train station is the York Railway museum. Entrance is free! I like the retro signages.
The old sign for the Underground!! Cool.
Shambles
We passed through here as we walked our way to the Shambles. Simply put, the Shambles is a narrow street in York where they sell all sorts of vintage items.
There's also a market where you can buy food and all sorts of desserts!
If you're a Harry Potter fan, you must know that the Diagon Alley was inspired from the Shambles. I'm not a hardcore fan, but I could already tell, what with this signage!
Lots of shops line this street. It's really narrow, and if you come here later in the day, it would probably be very crowded. It's fun to see how close the establishments from each side of the street are, like literally just inches away.
And by the end of the street, we found the top of York Minster.
York Minster
I spy spires. I took this photo when we finished eating lunch by the park beside this majestic cathedral. It was nice to simply sit down and listen to the church bells ringing once the next hour comes.
Entrance fee are as follows:
Minster only
Adult - £11
Seniors and students - £9
Child (under-16) - free with a paying adult
Minster and tower
Adult - £16
Seniors and students - £14
Child (under-16) - £5
And then after lunch, we boarded the train going to Durham, where we spent the remainder of the day.
