York River Cruise

We arrived in York at lunchtime with about 3hrs to browse - lunchtime........ and we are cooking in the heat!!
The coach park was by the river so we decided to go on one of the cruises and really enjoyed ourselves.  The Captain pointed out places of interest as we cruised and it was great............


This is where we were going .................






Passed this house, built long ago by a rich man from Italy ........in Italian Style




We were being followed by a small flotilla but they passed us when it came time to turnaround



We went as far as the Bishop's Palace - rather good photos as I think the swan enjoys having his photo taken.................







This is a very modern bridge and would look out of place if it was nearer the city...............





some of the local folks have bought these flats in converted mills and some have bought boats like this one called 'Happy Days'!!!




We went for a short walk round afterwards and saw this on our travels, maybe next time we come to York we will visit, but till the time to return to the coach, we sat on the bank and watched the world go by.

We stopped for a McDs after the driver dropped us off in Brum and then straight home to bed.................. and cool down..............

  1. Remember walking down that river bank in the frost and snow. It looks so different from your photos!
