Why?
Taking advantage of unseasonably warm weather to enjoy a historic city and fine sea views
It was a difficult decision. Should we spend what we guessed would be the last warm and sunny trip of the year exploring a city – so much more enjoyable when you can stroll around the sights and streets in sunshine without being bogged down by coats and umbrellas – or walking on the coast, relaxing on the beach and enjoying great views?
As I often do when faced with such choices, I turned to my map. Discovering that York is just over an hour from the white cliffs of the East Yorkshire coast (Kent, it seems, doesn’t have a monopoly on white cliffs!) we realised that we could visit both city and beach on the same trip – the best of both worlds.
Just a week or so after that, we were arriving in York. There are a couple of campsites to choose from quite near the city and we opted for Manor Farm, a small, friendly and very comfortable adults-only site
