Visiting York and Betty's Tea Rooms

Last month I finally achieved a little goal of mine- to get out and see a little more of Yorkshire. Although I know Yorkshire is gorgeous- Howarth and Skipton were lovely when I visited them- I am soo guilty of just going between uni and my bed... But anyway, I dragged my boyfriend out to York and it was really cute! We even had afternoon tea at Betty's tea rooms. York is super quick to get to from Leeds, taking around 25 minutes on the train, so it was the perfect day trip.

 York's Christmas market was really cute too!

Probably the cutest area of York is the shambles- you can tell how old the buildings are because they're so wonky. The shambles was full of tasty looking food shops and sweet shops- I definitely want to go back and get myself some fudge.

 
There was also a really short road called 'whip-ma-whop-ma-gate'.

York Minster is a famous landmark, and although we didn't have time to go in, it's supposed to be really pretty inside. I think there's a ghost tour too!

 (not as tall as Salisbury Cathedral though)

Next up was a trip to Bettys! It's quite famous, and there is a Bettys in Harrogate too I think (another place on my list). We went to the small one, and we did have to queue for around 20 minutes but I think it's worth it.

 I got a cream tea, and he had the Christmas tea and mince pies. It was sooo yummy!

It was sooo yummy! I'd definitely recommend Betty's as a good (and not overly expensive) place to go for tea. 

York also has a tower which we walked up but didn't go in, as it was already getting late (and v cold).

York was super cute! I'm determined to get out and see a little more of the UK (Edinburgh is number one on my bucket list at the moment) so hopefully you guys will see a little more UK travel content soon. (I still have a couple of posts to go from Japan too). Thanks for reading!
