The City Walls
Hi all,
We've encountered a train problem coming up on August 6th. We'll be in York and we'll need to get into London HTR at around 10AM to make a flight to Rome. Sadly, the 7:00ish train from York has been cancelled. Can someone suggest alternate affordable travel to the airport? Thanks for any information. A website would be great.
Thanks,
Tom
www.nationalrail.co.uk or www.thetrainline.com have timetables and fares. I am surprised the train you mention has been cancelled so far in advance but there are other trains (unless you mean all the London trains are to be cancelled?). You could get an earlier train, or get the bus/coach to somewhere like Leeds and get the London train from there.
You can get a coach for 32.50 one-way, but it will take more than 6 hours. www.nationalexpress.com for timetables and fares.
My sweetest memory of York is the fantastic shopping at the Shambles! They have toy shops, sweet shops, woodcarving shops, bookshops etc. and I did the bulk of my souvenir buying over here. I bought 'Jack-in-a-Box', sweets and chocolates packed in engine red post-box tins, natural wood-box carved out of a tree trunk, post-cards and such..Wonderful, all my favourite things concentrated in just one place. How can I not love it?
It's another one of those places where the best thing to do is just wander around the city. On such a walkabout, you'll see the very old York Minster, the very old Shambles, the very old city walls and gates, and some new souvenir shops. Bring your walkin' shoes.

I've seen some brilliant buskers and street performances in York, musical and otherwise.
There's always someone, somewhere doing something.....the yellow statue man (who has a tendency to unexpectedly chase unsuspecting females, just to make them squeal), the windy man (no, not that sort of wind), flautists, violinists, drummers, dancers, escapologists, magicians, singing dogs and local bands of all types.
It really adds atmosphere to the place, and there is never any hassle about giving money.
14 miles. By bus including entry £15.
Pay the driver board at Bootham Bar, across from the tourist info.
This is where the TV series 'Brides-head Revisited' was filmed.
The castle grounds are worth walking round too.
Not really off the beaten path, but a walk around York’s city walls will take you through 1900 years of history.
First built in Roman times, they have been added to and rebuilt over time – so that different parts date from different centuries.
As such, they tell the important and fascinating history of York. And as King George VI once said, 'The history of York is the history of England.' York’s city walls are among the longest and best-preserved walls in England. They are a scheduled ancient monument and a Grade One listed building. They are visited by over one million people from all over the world every year.
Originally built as defences, the focus is now on conservation.
