 Eighteenth century elegance |
Blake Street Grand Assembly Rooms York YO1 8QG United Kingdom +44 1904 63 7254 |
Situated within The Grand Assembly Rooms is one of the most elegant Italian pizza restaurants in York. Lord Burlington's rooms were originally designed in 1732 for social functions such as concerts and dancing. The interior still has echoes of this time gone by when the ladies of that era, wearing their hooped dresses, complained of the difficulties in negotiating the narrow spaces between the 48 supporting Corinthian columns! These graceful columns help create a wonderful atmosphere and with York's most famous landmark, The Minster, close by and the Yorkshire Museum within walking distance; this is a very popular place to eat. There's plenty of seating and the menu covers a broad range of meals that should cater for almost all tastes. A Caesar's salad costs around £3.50 and a spaghetti bolognese is a little over £6. Pizzas are available with numerous toppings and cost from about £4 upwards. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Hands on experience |
2 Coffee Yard Stonegate York YO1 8AR United Kingdom +44 1904 61 0275 |
Barley Hall is a recreated 15th century town house and uniquely different in the sense that the visitor is invited not just to look but also to touch the objects on view, to actually sit on the chairs and look at the contents of the medieval chests. There is an audio tape available for those who would prefer to find their own way around. Or, if you would enjoy a guided tour of the Hall then there are guides dressed in 15th century clothing who are more than willing to enlighten you on life as it was in that age.

 York's oldest gateway |
De Grey Rooms St Leonards Place York YO1 7HB United Kingdom +44 1904 621756 |
Bootham Bar is one of four main entrances to the city of York. It is the defensive bastion for the northern entrance or gateway and stands on the site of the old Roman fortress. It is also the oldest gateway of the four, with some of the stones dating back as far as the 11th century. Medieval travellers, through the hazardous Forest of Galtres, were aided on their way by the sentries who stood guard at Bootham Bar. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Brideshead revisited |
Estate Office York YO60 7DA United Kingdom +44 1653 64 8444 http://www.castlehoward.co.uk |
Situated only 15 miles north of York, Castle Howard is the perfect example of an English stately home set in a thousand acres of sweeping parkland. It is the ancestral home of the Howards and has been so for the last 300 years. Scenes from the film "Brideshead Revisited" were shot here. There is a plant center, a pottery studio, an exhibition wing, a lakeside café, a gift shop and even a little train that takes you round the parkland. You can also watch Jorvik glass being made and if the weather is fine then you can take a boat trip on the Great Lake, what more could the visitor ask for. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Octagonal building |
York Minster Deangate York YO1 7JA United Kingdom +44 1904 55 7226 http://www.yorkminster.org |
One of the most interesting parts of the building within the York Minster is the 13th century, octagonal Chapter House with its extraordinary roof vaulting. Visitors will note that despite its huge size, the Chapter House has no central pillar to support the roof. Details of just how the roof was constructed are shown in a scaled down model. The Chapter House is one of the best examples of its kind and not to be missed. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Pursuits of pleasure |
St Leonards Place York YO1 2HB United Kingdom +44 1904 62 1756 http://www.york-tourism.co.uk |
The De Grey Rooms were built in 1841 and designed by the architect G T Andrews. The original purpose of these elegant rooms was for pursuits of pleasure such as balls, concert performances, recitals and other such entertainments. In fact it still has a use as a place of public meetings and for the occasional concert. The De Grey Rooms also served, at one time, as an officers' mess for the Yorkshire Hussars. Currently, it is home to the York Tourist Information Centre. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Hidden history |
St Helen's Square York YO1 9QN United Kingdom +44 1904 61 3161 http://www.york.gov.uk |
The original Guildhall was badly damaged by an air raid in 1942 but has since been sensitively restored. Fortunately, the Inner Chambers' walls, dating from the 15th century, were made of stone and so escaped serious damage and now form the foundation of the reconstruction. The history of the building is very interesting and includes many a Royal visit; from the Queen Mother in 1960, right back to 1483 when the notorious Richard III was a guest there. The sequence of events is told through a number of storyboards forming part of the new exhibition, which has recently opened. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Formidable fortress |
Helmsley Town Centre York, North Yorkshire YO62 5AH United Kingdom +44 1439 77 0442 |
Helmsley Castle was built in the 12th century and so the first thing the visitor is confronted by is a spectacular double row of earth works, which helped make it a formidable fortress in its time. Later, in the Elizabethan period, extra buildings and rooms were added and it is in these rooms that the exhibitions are held. There is also, in tableau form, a history of the castle, which is rather an interesting, visual way of telling the tale. If you are going by road, then the castle is situated approximately 20 miles north of York and by far the best route is along the B1363. Review © 2007, Wcities |

You can find the Hospitium in Museum Gardens, it is a very striking building which has undergone restoration on several occasions. The lower or ground floor was built in the early part of the 14th century but the timber-framed structure wasn't added until the early 15th century. It is thought to have been built primarily as a resting place for weary travellers visiting St Mary's Abbey, a type of guest house for visitors of lower social rank.

Oldest surviving row of houses in York |
Goodramgate York YO1 7LF United Kingdom +44 1904 62 1756 |
Lady Row is situated on Goodramgate and consists of a row of picturesque cottages built by a wealthy merchant, Thomas Langtoft, in 1316. The cottages are said to be the oldest surviving row of houses in York and they certainly look as much, not a single straight line to be seen. Thomas Langtoft used the money he received in rent from the cottages, to pay for the services of a chantry priest of the Virgin Mary in the Church of Holy Trinity. You can see them whilst you shop in Goodramgate, so pretty to look at, reminiscent of a picture on a chocolate box. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This century its primarily use is for meetings but the upper floor, which has many remarkable features, is open to the public for a small admission charge. Review © 2007, Wcities |

St. Mary's Abbey was once the most powerful and wealthiest monastery in the North of England. The abbey and its religious order were influential and prosperous landowners, until the reign of Henry VIII, when the Dissolution of the Monasteries Act brought an end to the prosperity. In 1539 the abbey was closed by order of the crown and all property was confiscated. The remains of the abbey are still a very impressive sight and are located in the grounds of the Yorkshire Museum Gardens. Admission to the gardens is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

York is at its most picturesque in springtime when the daffodils are blooming. These beautiful spring flowers enhance the earthen ramparts, which were razed by the Romans and the Anglo-Danish kings of York but strengthened later by the Normans.
