Some ideas for breakfast or brunch

York has loads of really great independently owned places for a coffee, cakes, pastries and all types of breakfasts. We've listed a few places here that we go to regularly. Some are 3 minutes walk away. None more than 10 minutes on foot.
We often dash to Partisan for some fabulous croissants or sourdough. When friends are in town, we book a table and savour their Persian Eggs or Eggs in Purgatory. Delicious!

Kiosk is tiny with a few seats outside. It serves fabulous coffee, great croissants and delicious sandwiches. The young guys who run it are really friendly and coffee experts.

Food scene

This is really top end cooking. Great for a special occasion or if you just want to treat yourself. Arras has a great garden at the rear that adjoins the city walls

You can climb on the walls opposite the apartment. It really is the best way to start your visit by walking round them. The best part is between Bootham and Goodramgate.

Really interesting insight into what life was like in Viking Britain. Not your normal museum of glass cases and exhibits but a train ride through history.

Castle Howard is about 40 minute drive from York but definitely worth a visit. The house is interesting, the gardens are beautiful. Great hikes around the area.

York was a chocolate town. This is the family home of the Terry's across the race course from the old Terry's factory. Not in the centre but you can walk out here along the river.

Interesting Georgian hall with a great collection of portraits as well as lovely gardens. It's ten miles from York and can be cycled along the river and lanes - lovely in summer.

Транспорт

Best seen on foot.

York is a medieval city and much of the centre is traffic free or traffic limited. It is great city for walking whether in the centre, on the city walls or along the river paths.
Что взять с собой

Comfortable walking shoes and a waterproof jacket

This is Northern England - bring a waterproof jacket! Weather can be changeable, even in summer, so be prepared!
