Upon arrival in York, you will have time to explore this splendid city at your leisure before we head back steam hauled to London Kings Cross.

Within its ancient encircling walls, York’s meandering streets and buildings are beautifully preserved in the historic heart of the city. The Shambles is a must-visit, as one of the most recognised historic streets in England, often referred to as the best-preserved medieval street in Europe.
