York Minster

it was raining on the day I visited and I remember that I don’t have enough time to go inside, so, just taking a picture with the church is already way more enough for me.

Old Trafford

A Bucket List Experience – Simply Amazing!Old Trafford is a dream destination for any football fan! The stadium’s history, atmosphere, and iconic moments make it an unforgettable experience. Walking through the players’ tunnel and seeing the pitch up close was surreal. A must-visit for any football lover!

Etihad Stadium

With a seating capacity of over 53,000, it’s one of the largest and most well-equipped stadiums in the UK. Beyond football, Etihad Stadium also hosts concerts and events, making it a vibrant part of the city’s entertainment scene.

Chatsworth House

Absolutely fantastic. Would recommend the buggy ride around the garden. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The house and all the staff made you feel very welcome and relaxed.The markets are really good and have a very nice vibe and the house itself is decorated very well with a different theme every year. This year it's Henry and the Lion! The gardens are also lit up at night so definitely go for a walk after leaving the house if you have time. You will need to book tickets early ..

Chinatown

Went to Happy seasons restaurant and TSUJIRI in Manchester Chinatown with my mates after exams. Authentic Chinese cuisine with reasonable prices. The matcha sundae was also delicious. There are also many nice Asian restaurants around the area.

The University of Manchester

EN the traveller
The University is located not too far from Chinatown, making this a nice day trip for those looking to checkout a UK university and have a nice meal after.

Castle Howard

What a fabulous day we had at Castle Howard today!🥰It really is such an inspiring place. We admired the art (of course!😜). Sang and danced in the grounds (away from others!🤣)Almost most importantly, we had some great family belly laughs!😩😁❤️

York City Walls

闲来有趣
King George VI once proudly said, "The history of York is the history of England". Located on the banks of the River Ouse in northeast England, York is the second largest tourist city in England. Its outstanding architecture and two thousand years of history are integrated with its prosperous commercial streets. There are more than 30 museums and galleries in the city center. Here you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the leisure and tranquility that the British town brings you.

Clifford's Tower, York

My first time visiting this tower ,all the staff was extremely friendly and helpful .We really enjoyed visiting this beautiful piece of history and we adore york. Was so happy to know it is english heritage so everytime we go somewhere we try and make use out of our membership.Was a wonderful structure been made for the stairs nice and strong. We enjoyed the roof top being able to have a clear 360 view was magnificent well worth all the climbing up both stairs .

Shambles

There are rumors that Wimbledon Street is good to see, but when I actually went there, it was nice because there were many shops to see! I heard that the ghost shop is famous, but there was a long line in front of me, so I couldn't go in.
