The city of York is located in the center of England about 2 hours north of London on the train. The city of 200,000 was founded 71 AD by the Romans but has evidence that people settled there between 7 and 8,000 BC. That is a really long time ago. In the earily years York was a major wool trading center and later a huge railway hub. The city is rich with historic actactions, the most prominent being the York Minster Cathedral. I do like this English history and have been taking advantage of the senior rail discounts and off peak cheaper train tickets. Check out the family owned 2 star B & B I stayed at called the Wheatlands Lodge. For 35 pounds I got a single cot with breakfast and tea served. I was also invited to have dinner there served at 6 pm sharp. The food suited me just fine. Not exactly a honeymoon suite but for the money it was a bargin.
