York

We decided to spend half-term break up in York. Unfortunately we had some cold and wet weather while we were there but we were able to find some fun indoor stuff to do to stay dry.

We spent some time at the National Railway Museum...

and the Yorkshire Museum.

We walked on the city walls.

We went to the Jorvik Viking Centre...

climbed many steps up to Clifford's Tower...

and explored the York Castle Museum.

We spent some time in York Minster...

and shopping on The Shambles.

Then we stopped by Hogsmeade Station (Goathland Station)...

on our way to some abbeys and castles, including Whitby Abbey (a location from Bram Stoker's Dracula).

And we spent a good portion of a day exploring the ruins of Fountains Abbey.

Though we were all ready to be back in our own warm beds by the end, we had a really great week!
