York Castle Museum
A 'Harry Potter' Tree - much smaller version of course
The Moat surrounding the city walls. Now, apparently a jogging/walking trail.
Monks Bar - no, not a pub where the Monk's drink - also called a 'gate' aka entrance to the city. There's a small doorway at the bottom left of the pic (behind the lady in black) with a narrow staircase up to the top where we walked along the walls for a bit.
Pam on the steps of Clifford's Tower.
The York City Art Gallery - it was free to get in - unlike everything else we visited.
Parking lot security?
Pam and Carole standing in front of one of the many buildings that appear to have some issues with construction.??
No, you're not crazy - that building is sagging.
The Shambles street. Just wide enough for a small car or wagon to fit down - pedestrians only anymore. Once again, York showing off some of it's finest construction. Yes, those buildings are leaning into the street.
The York Minster - a massive church with tons of stained glassed windows and unique architecture. Tours are offered inside for a mere £9, and one can climb the tower for only £5 (that's around $14 & $8 respectively). We looked around inside the entrance and decided we'd spend our money on trinkets in the gift shop instead.
Clifford's Tower. I would imagine this was used to view incoming attacks outside the city walls. The daffodils were wildly in bloom all over the man-made hillside.
So so interesting. They might use the same building techniques there as I use in Arkansas, not much for straight lines.
