Plan
A Springtime Visit To York!
Ancient
stones and natural beauty..
That's
the magic of York in the Spring (March, April and May).
A
walk around the City walls when the daffodils are in bloom is a memorable
experience. On this walk, you can easily plan how to spend the next
day or two.
Towering
above the walls is the splendour of York Minster. Below you is the
throbbing City centre with magnificent shops intermingled with ancient
buildings.
And
on your walk around the walls, you see beautiful gardens bursting
with spring blossoms.
Spring
may seem some time away, but don't leave it too late to book your
hotel rooms. They soon get filled up!
