fantastisch York

I'm an absoute Anglophile and York is my favourite city for me. In the UK for sure and maybe all over Europe. Whenever we are in the North of England, or in Scotland, we take a break day in York on the way back. Every time we see new things. the city walls, beautiful little churches, houses, Yorvik Centre, medieval streets with shops, York Minster, Clifford tower, Betsy's tearoom.
