York, Northern England

Some of my favorite parts of England are located in England's North Country, with the city of York being very special to me.
It is a wonderful mix of very old and new. It is surrounded by the Roman Walls, which surround the city, and you can walk around all or part of them and feel like you are a part of history.
You can visit the famous and magnificent York Minster; walk down the ancient tiny street called "The Shambles", and climb to the top of Clifford's Tower. You can visit the Jorvik Viking Center; go to the Railway Museum, and finish it all off with a wonderful afternoon tea at Betty's Tearoom.
It is a wonderful mix of old and new and never fails to capture my imagination.
I just love York!
