York

Rate: 7. Required time: 4-6 hours.

The choice of the hotel proved to be right: we stopped at Hilton York City hotel, the only 4* hotel in the centre and our windows overlooked the Tower.
The city which was founded by Vikings (York departed from Jorvik the name of the founder of the city) and it used to be the capital of England. It makes a great impression. You should visit York Cathedral (we were able to see it only from outside, as it was a graduation day), the museum of Vikings (or rather the amusement park, where they restored the way of life of those times and what is interesting they also managed to create the smell). And you can simply take a walk along the streets of this medieval town , some of them are still called by ancient Norwegian names.

Rate: 6.
Alternative of visiting: Drive along with a car- 2 hours.
Walk: 1 day
Have a rest 2-3 days.

The land known since king Arthur time, attracts attention by its views and the air which I would say has got not only smell but even taste. Everyone wants to have dinner with the best view and excellent cuisine. We solved this problem in a restaurant Miller Howe (millerhowe.com). But if you plan to stay here for 1-2 nights, I recommend you the Sharrow Bay Country House. We didnt stay here only because of the lack of time
