York is a must see if you visit England.

I loved the Minster and Jorvick. And the cobblestone streets. I think they were called the Shambles?

I loved walking around the old abbeys Henry VIII destroyed as well.

Old York is nothing like New York.

I went to England with my parents and some other relatives in 1983. We visited only the London area, including Oxford and Windsor, and Northern Ireland.

And New York is nothing like America. You can see New York without seeing America, and you can see America without seeing New York.

In fact, I highly recommend the latter.

With ref' to York:
Can you remember the difference between a 'Gate' and a 'Bar'? :)
Pass mouse to reveal: The Streets are 'Gates', the Gates in the City walls are 'Bars'.
