York was our first day trip from Harlaxton. We grabbed our sack lunches and took a train to York and had a free day to explore the city on our own. I spent the day walking through the town, stopping in little shops and markets, taking a million pictures and videos (all shown in the video below!), and having a beer in a local pub. Each road was stuffed with buildings, shops, cars, and people, all separated by a bumpy, old cobblestone road. There is a river that divides the city, but also allows for boat tours and beautiful riverside restaurants and shops.  I loved being in York; it is big enough to be its own city, yet quaint enough to be like its own neighborhood.
