<h2>York City Walls + York Minster + York Shambles + Clifford's Tower + British Railway Museum one-day tour</h2><h2>[York Classic Day Tour-Chinese Private Car-Itinerary Adjustable]</h2>York City Walls:The York City Wall is a 5-kilometer-long square wall built by the Romans as a barrier to defend against foreign enemies. You can see these city walls as you enter the city from the train station. The city wall is centered on York Minster, and it takes about 2 hours to go around the city wall. In York, the entrance to the city wall is called "Bar". The entrances to the city wall include Bootham Bar in the north and Micklegate Bar in the southwest, as well as Monk Bar in the northeast and Walmgate Bar in the southeast. Visitors can only walk a short section, such as Bootham Bar near York Minster to Monk Bar, and enjoy the view of York Minster along the way. York Minster:It is the largest Gothic church in England. Construction began in the early 13th century and was completed 250 years later. The church has the largest medieval stained glass in the world and the oldest side aisle in the world. There are also some small collections inside such as cherubs and shields from the feudal era.When visiting the church, you can choose the time when York Minster holds evening prayers, and enjoy the magnificent atmosphere of York Minster amid the beautiful singing of the choir and the sound of the organ. Walk 275 steps to reach the top of the 71-meter-high central tower, where you can enjoy a beautiful view of York.Walking along the city wall from Bootham Bar to Monk Bar, you can enjoy the majestic view of York Minster. National Railway Museum:Located east of the train station on Leeman Road. Britain is the birthplace of trains. The National Railway Museum collects steam-powered locomotives, the car used by Queen Victoria, the Hogwarts train in the Harry Potter movie, third-class trams, Eurostar, Japan Shinkansen "HIKARI" and replica of Stephenson's rocket, etc. The corridor on the second floor displays license plates, train tickets and other items and photos. In addition, there are countless buttons, watches, clocks, maps, posters and an antique old-style station in the museum. Clifford's Tower:Located on a hilltop is one of the few remaining remains of York Castle. Clifford's Tower was built according to the appearance of the castle left by the ancient Romans, so both the arches and the cloisters are somewhat similar to the Colosseum. The tower was used as a fortification and later as a prison and mint. It is currently used as a historical site for tourists to visit.You can climb to the top of the tower through the narrow spiral staircase in the tower, from where you can enjoy the beautiful panoramic view of York. York Shambles:It is the most complete and oldest medieval street preserved in Britain so far. This used to be a butcher's shop, and meat would spoil easily in the sun, so the roads were deliberately made narrow to avoid excessive direct sunlight. There is almost no sunlight in Shutter Street all year round, and it is very cool in summer.There are buildings full of fairy tale colors here, and it is also the prototype of "Diagon Alley" where the little wizards in the "Harry Potter" series of movies buy various magic props and books. However, the Chinese translation of this street name has nothing to do with magic. It even has some "heavy words" and is called "Butcher Shop Street". The original English word for "Shambles Street" is The Shambles, which evolved from the medieval word "Shamel". The English meaning of "Shamel" is Booth (stall) + Bench (bench), which already means a bit of "butcher shop". Since the beginning of official historical records, this street has been a street lined with butcher shops and butchers.The current Shambles Street is a very famous commercial street in York, and the streets have been greatly modified. The shops on both sides of the street are all exquisite and unique shops with a strong literary and artistic atmosphere. There are also many antique shops worth exploring hidden in Butcher Street. For those who love antiques, this is a paradise for treasure hunting.
