As a major tourist destination, York needs absolutely no introduction. There's just so much to see and do here for everyone, be that visiting historical buildings and museums or simply meandering along the cobbled streets.
It might surprise you to learn that Kay and I are not really ‘townies’ – we prefer to be out and about in the countryside – but we both love York.
I have such fond memories of having had the privilege to sing and play the organ in the magnificent Minster as a teenager (it's still my favourite cathedral and organ), and one of our sons was Organ Scholar there in the mid-noughties, so we were regular visitors to York during his tenure at all times of the year, as you can imagine. However, for more years than I care to remember now, we've had a caravan break in York in December, during the run-up to Christmas, and 2022 was no exception.
Walking distance
We checked in at the York Rowntree Park Caravan & Motorhome Club Site, which is convenient for the city centre, and spent the rest of the day relaxing in the van (and putting up Christmas decorations!).
All of the city's main attractions are within walking distance of the campsite. If you're less able or use a mobility scooter or wheelchair, therehas a small scooter to get around because he's not quite so agile as he once was).
