The Shambles - York
A very thin street! This was a test trip out. We tried out the new camera and our dog free existence. This allowed us to stay in a hotel, and explore York at our leisure. We started by going to the
Jorvick center which consisted of all things Viking. It started with a ride back to the 900's and transport around the simulated Viking village of York (or Jorvick as it was known then).
Then we went to
Barley Hall to look at an old medieval house, and then on to
The Dig, where you can excavate artefacts of your own by digging in "soil" with your own trowel looking for relics - just like Time Team.
The next day we went around York museum and visited the Victorian street. Then, after lunch we went up to Thirsk to see James Herriot's surgery which is now a visitors centre.
