Plan
A Summertime Visit To York!
A
vibrant, historic city ..
Many
people visit York to wonder at its ancient buildings and visit its
many museums and attractions.
But
York is also a bustling, lively city, with first-class shopping facilities
and a lively night-life.
It's
a great place to visit in the summer. Yes, we do have some rain,
but York is in one of the drier areas of Britain!
Enjoy
the pleasures of a long summer day, either wandering around the compact
city centre, or taking a trip out to some of the beautiful countryside
within easy reach of York.
Summer
is with us now, and York is getting busy. Don't leave it too late
to book your hotel rooms. They soon get filled up!

site is sponsored by Traynor Kitching & Associates. We are

Also,
through our association with Amazon Books - the world's largest on-line
bookshop - we present a handpicked selection of books about York,
which you can buy online in our Online

useful Web Sites.

chance to come. And please tell your friends!
