Every time we ever visit York my dad always pulls out his copy of "snickerways and alleyways" of York circa about 1960, and we always have to do at least a bit of it.
He also has a bunch of walking guides written in the 1900s that we try and do sometimes, they include instructions like turn left at the old barn, and continue on past the oak tree. So they tend to be a bit hard to follow.

They have the national railway museum there too, and once a year there's Yorvik, a Viking festival. York's a cool place.
Always try to squeeze in a trip to the House of Trembling Madness when I'm there too - excellent booze shop with a really cool pub upstairs
I went to Valhalla while I was there a couple years ago. I had a mead flight. I was stumbling a bit after that.
I was like oh it's a flight, its smaller amounts. NO, Its Full Fucking Drinks, but 4 of them. All at once.
Loved it, would go back.
I was here like 4 days ago, funny seeing it on lemmy so soon
I was there last week too. Maybe we had a secret Lemmy user meetup without realising?

Yeah, but only between 3-6 a.m. and when it rains; all other times you get stampeded by 100000 tourists (been there done that)
I'd love to visit - that area in particular for a cheeky photo under the Revolution sign.
