York Trip

Took my camera to York for a few days, and had an amazing time exploring the city for the first time.  I couldn't believe how calm it was for a city, with it not being overly crowded or even that noisy compared to other major towns or cities I have visited. So, one of the main things I did there was shop (obviously) as they had a really good choice of high-street shops and many other independent  ones too, aswell as this we walked up and down the iconic Shambles which had further shops and cafes. On one of the nights we did a Ghost Tour, which are very popular in York. Its a very historic place and known as one of the most haunted cities in England, so we enjoyed all the stories that were told. However I would recommend looking at the other tours they do as some are more theatrical with actors (so we might do that next time). We also visited the York Art Gallery, the City Museum and York Minster which was stunning. The food we had was so nice, from lovely meals in the evening to delicious coffee breaks with homemade cakes during the day. Best of all though, I came across the best restaurant ever, called Filmore and Union and it is the perfect place to go if you are intolerant to dairy/ gluten or a vegan ( or even if your none of these) but pretty much the whole menu is free from wheat and dairy and the choices on the menu are amazing. I cannot describe how good the brownies are too, we went a couple of times and on both occasions I ordered firstly, the chocolate brownie and then the white chocolate and raspberry blondie.
