We love York and Yorkshire! 🥰
York is a historic City nestled in North Yorkshire, packed full of incredible local tourist spots, and an easy two hours by train from Leeds, Manchester and Edinburgh.
Voted as Britain's best place to live by the Sunday Times, it's one of the most popular tourist destinations.

Best things to do in York
York offers an abundance of places to visit, it's a city that breathes animated history, and you will want to know more and more the longer you stay here.
Firstly, you cannot miss the glorious Minster with its elegant presence, with its criss-cross purposeful footsteps walking past it from morning to dusk.
If you enjoy walking as much as scenic views, the York city walls envelope the city in a protective embrace. They originate from Roman times and make York to be Britain's most complete historic wall. You can walk its full length or choose one or two sections if your legs need warming up.
Located in the city centre itself is the famous Shambles street, the preserved Elizabethan buildings blinking like eyelids onto the passing tourists down below. Once a street for butchers, it is now a street peppered with beautiful jewellery stores, chocolate shops and various magical stores.
These are just a few of the wonders in store waiting for you, not to mention a plethora of churches, Clifford's tower, the Merchant Adventurers' Hall and more.
York's biggest attractions, shops and award winning restaurants await...

2 out of 3 crossings in Strensall. This crossing I noticed had no barrier name plates at it. To the left of this crossing (from the side I was standing on) is heading towards York and Liverpool, to the right of this crossing is Strensall No. 3 and where the signal box is which controls all three of these crossings also heading towards Scarborough.

This is the final crossing out of all 3 in Strensall. Located at the side of this crossing is the signal box. This crossing is actually called Strensall Station same with Haxby Station as there used to be a station at both many years ago. The boom lights on the barrier I was standing next to seemed pretty dim kind of like at Ely. The train rushing past was only 4 coaches instead of 8 this time heading to Scarborough. Hope you enjoyed.

FULFORD: York Parish #19 of 31
YORK PARISH #19: FULFORD
It took me quite a long time to write the script for this one given how much Fulford has to its name. Located two miles to the south of York City Centre, on the eastern bank of the River Ouse, the ancient parish of Fulford consisted of two townships. In the North was Gate Fulford which was also known as Over Fulford and in the South, Water Fulford which was also known as Nether Fulford.
From the two townships the parish took the name of Fulfords Ambo in the 19th century. The two townships became separate civil parishes in 1866. In 1900, Gate Fulford was abolished and absorbed into the city of York and Water Fulford became what we know as Fulford parish today.
The biggest historical happening in this part of York came in 1066, when its lands were bloodied thanks to a brutal battle, a precursor to Battle of Stamford Bridge. The Battle of Fulford was won by the invading Vikings, and the site of the skirmish will feature in this episode. Also featured here is the site of the former Naburn Hospital, and this place has a few notable sporting facts too. Former England football manager Steve McLaren was born here, and York City once played here as well

MAPPLETON: East Riding of Yorkshire Parish #123 of 172
EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE PARISH #123: MAPPLETON
Welcome back to the East Yorkshire coast folks! This is the parish of Mappleton which sits 3 miles to the South of Hornsea. As well as Mappleton village the parish includes the hamlets of Rolston, Cowden and Great Cowden, and it all overlooks the North Sea on the fastest eroding cliff in the whole of Europe.
In 1991, sea defences were built in order to protect the village and the B1242 which is the main road through Mappleton. Before that, intense sea erosion that had threatened to swallow up not just the cliff, but also the village itself. Although it’s still eroding away, it’s now slowed to a point where it is no longer a threat to the settlement. The success of the project created a larger higher sandy beach for Mappleton.
Locals and tourists alike can now enjoy the fabulous Mappleton Beach, a popular local attraction at the bottom of the cliff, which has a free car park at the top. You do have to have your wits about you on Mappleton Beach. Coastal erosion often reveals lots of explosive material thanks to a former RAF bombing range located down the coast at Cowden.
As well as the beach, the village itself offers a lot for such a small place. Here you can enjoy the old post office tea rooms and the fabulous Grade II listed church. Mappleton is also one of the best places to visit to see some of the UK’s coastal wartime defences.
So get your Speedos on, it’s time for a paddle in the sea!

Purton Level Crossing
Thursday August 25 2022 at 19.54. The 18.58 Cheltenham Spa to London Paddington (21.00) train. This is just a few miles west of Swindon. It is in the middle of England but, apart from Minety LC, it is a long way to the next nearest level crossing. 26 miles by road. I came here 10 years ago in the big old van. Someone thought I was waiting for a train so I could kill myself. She seemed a little disappointed when I said I wasn't. There has been a massive change since I was here. The line was redoubled in 2014. It had been singled in 1968 and moved to the middle of the trackbed. Another expensive mistake. In March a woman trying to catch her dog was killed here. In 2010 a woman with Alzheimers also died here walking a dog.
